This two-day, jam-packed workshop is perfect for taking your encaustic skills to the next level. We will be experimenting with more advanced techniques: painting, scraping, incising, accretion, sgraffito, image transfer, dipping, pouring, shellac burns, imbedding paper/small bits, and hot box mono-prints, We will be working on both wood panels and paper.
