ART AT NOON: Encaustic and Collage with Leslie Giuliani

Encaustic Collage with Leslie Giuliani

Thursday, December 4, 2025
12-2PM
$75.00 per adult

In this class, we’ll explore the ancient yet contemporary medium of Encaustic—beeswax-based paint that also serves as a versatile adhesive—to create unique collages. This technique is wonderfully flexible: if you’re not happy with an arrangement, simply re-melt and re-position. Participants will learn how to build richly layered artworks using Encaustic as “glue,” incorporating fabric, stencils, prints, personal drawings, even Spirograph designs! We’ll also experiment with laser copy transfers and direct drawing. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials are included.
