Come join artist, Jacque Minarik to learn about encaustic! Encaustic originates from the Greek word Enkaiein, meaning to burn in, referring to the process of fusing paint and wax. Let's have fun together learning about this exciting art form.

We will experiment with heating wax, resin, and pigment to create a unique painting. Explore encaustic for the first time or expand your skills. The layering of encaustic paint produces luminous and textured surfaces. Feel free to bring a copied image to add to the layering process for collage or just experiment blending and mixing the wax and pigment to create an abstract piece of art.
