This fun one-day workshop is a great introduction to encaustic painting and working with beeswax medium. The workshop will examine approaches to using colored wax, paper, tissue papers and embedding objects into the wax. We will address heating, fusing, and manipulating wax, as well as the use of color, brushes and where to find materials. You will be able to take home at least 1 to 3 finished pieces that are 5 x 7 inches.
All supplies are included in the cost of the class. Supplies include wooden panels, papers and wax medium. You are welcome to bring your own collage materials if you wish but note that shiny, plasticized surfaces or heavy items will not work. Participants receive a 10% discount at ARCH for any materials purchased the day of the class.
FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to take this workshop?
Students must be 10 years of age or older since we will be working with very hot elements, melted beeswax and resin in making encaustic art
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
ARCH has a free dirt lot in front of the store at the end of Carolina Street. The 10 POLK, 19 POTRERO and 55 UCSF MISSION BAY SF MUNI buses all stop about 3 blocks from ARCH (go to ARCH on Google Maps and click on directions)
What can I bring into the event?
Wear an apron or clothes and shoes that are 'art appropriate'. Also, feel free to bring snacks, a drink and water. There is no 'lunch break' and cafes are not within nearby walking distance.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
You may call the instructor (Ann) at 415 652 1112 and leave a message with the best times to reach you.
What's the refund policy?
You can get a refund up until 24 hours before the event starts. You can also use your credit toward a future encaustic workshop at ARCH given by the same instructor. Please CALL the instructor if you cannot make it. You have the option of giving your ticket to a friend! 415 652 1112
