Ready to turn up the heat on your creativity this summer? Join us for an exciting, hands-on workshop that dives into the luminous, expressive world of encaustic painting—a medium as ancient as it is exhilarating. Led by artist Regina B. Quinn, this workshop is your opportunity to explore the vibrant possibilities of molten beeswax, damar resin, and rich pigments. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a complete beginner, this joyful and immersive session invites you to play, experiment, and discover the endless textures and effects of encaustic art.
You’ll learn how to:
- Layer translucent and opaque encaustic paints
- Manipulate hot wax using a variety of expressive techniques
- Slash, scratch, and sculpt the surface to create stunning depth and texture
- Embrace tropical colors and creative freedom—perfect for summer energy
All supplies are included—just bring your curiosity and willingness to explore. Leave with your own one-of-a-kind encaustic artwork and the skills to keep creating. Space is limited, so register today and let your creativity melt into something magical.
Please note that our classes are typically held in the lower level of Arlene's. Because access to the lower level is available only by stair, please let us know if using the stairs presents any difficulty for you in advance of the class so we can make alternate arrangements. We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our classes.
