Encaustic Collage Workshop with Robin VanHoozer

$75 per student

Participants should bring collage materials and basic art supplies to the class.

Adding encaustic to your collage making can take many forms. This workshop will use encaustic throughout the collage process. Encaustic items can also be added to other collages made from other materials by several different techniques, such as, nails, tacks, threads, etc.

Encaustic paint is beeswax, resin, and pigment and has been used since ancient times. The paint is heated and the layers are fused with heat. Encaustic medium is beeswax and medium without the pigment.

The beauty of encaustic is that it is very versatile and lends itself well to collage making. We will learn various techniques and best practices for adding encaustic to your studio practice. The goal of this workshop is to demonstrate how to incorporate elements of encaustic to your work.
