Spruill Center for the Arts Registration for Encaustic Workshops Open in Dunwoody, GA
Saturday, October 17th, 10AM – 4PM
Instructor: Kim McGill Stuart
Explore the rich, touchable and textural qualities of encaustic wax. Spend the day creating tantalizing textures with oil pigmented wax, water and fire. Emulate textures from coral reefs to smooth surfaces, reminiscent of glassy lake water at dusk.

Use blow torches and carving tools to create various surface marks and undulations.

Explore the basics of the ancient art of encaustic painting. Encaustic painting uses a wax-based paint composed of beeswax and oil pigment. We will review safety issues, surface options, color mixing, layering, fusing with a torch, texture and more. This class is for students that have never used wax as a medium before or those that have just started out and want to further develop the technique. Discussions will include setting up a studio, supply resources, mixing colors, and painting molten wax. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.
