Waitlist for 2025

All skill levels are welcome to come and create in this two day workshop.

After a brief discussion on encaustics, you will be guided through the process of building your own beautiful encaustic nest painting. Together we will begin by creating a lush wax background and then spend the afternoon having fun further exploring a variety of encaustic mark making techniques, building up layers of encaustic paint, creating depth and structure around the eggs nestled in your nest.

You will finish your piece by hand rubbing additional colours into the textured surface and further embellishing with a hint of gold or copper powder.

Participants may wish to bring additional items to further personalize their work.

The studio is equipped with everything that you will need for your workshop including: heated palettes, variable heat guns, Iwatani torches, brushes, tools and any additional supplies required for your workshop. During your time in the workshop, you will have available a full range of R&F products including R&F heated palettes, encaustic medium, paints, gesso, Pigment Sticks and blending medium .

All supplies are included for your workshop with the exception of boards, substrates or painting surfaces. Further details and additional class information will be sent upon registration.

Workshop size is limited to 4 participants. Payment is due at time of registration and confirms your space in workshop. Fees are non refundable, however, they may be applied towards a future workshop or artwork.
