Encaustic Workshops

Encaustic is the art of painting with molten beeswax, mixed with colored pigments and resin. The results are like no other medium—mysterious, deep, and translucent, with a glow that seems to emanate from within. I offer a wide variety of introductory and intermediate workshops in my private studio in SE Portland and sometimes nationally. Don't worry if you aren't a painter because you can also collage with wax.
