Testimonials
What is Encaustic Art?
Encaustic, meaning “to burn in” in Greek, is an art form dating back to the fifth century B.C.
It is a versatile method of painting using beeswax-based paint and a heated palette.
It is then applied to a wood surface or other porous substrate.
FAQs about Encaustic & Experiences
I don’t know how to draw or paint. Can I still participate?
YES! I encourage everyone to explore new ways to express themselves, even if they have never picked up a paintbrush or feel they “can’t draw” because of “rule”s others have imposed.
How long are your classes?
They run pretty much on time for the 3 or 5 hour sessions.
How do I take care of my art at home?
Like all fine art, store or hang it with care. You can care for your encaustic piece by gently buffing it with a soft cloth or panty hose (if you have any of those things around:) to bring back the shine. Take care with any collaged areas.
What kinds of groups do you welcome at the studio?
Friends and families have had wonderful experiences together in the studio just for fun or to celebrate an occasion. Couples have celebrated their anniversaries, offices have held staff team-building events, families have had fun play-dates, etc.
***Ages 10+ who are responsible around heat (or will be supervised) and tall enough to work on a bar height table are best suited to play in the studio!
