You will leave this workshop with several encaustic wax masterpieces on paper and wooden substrates.

Encaustic Abstract Workshop

Monday, Jan 7, 2019 – 10:30am-2:30pm 

Location: Penny’s studio in Decatur 

The process of “letting go” is just what we need to begin the new year off with a fresh start! This workshop allows you to express your inner child and follow consciousness to create uniquely personal artwork. The freedom to break “art-rules” while brushing or pouring pigmented wax is truly therapy for the soul!  The beauty of painting with fire, wax, and pigments is that no two paintings will ever look the same and there are no mistakes…only discoveries. 

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. $185 plus $20 supply fee
