Exploring Encaustics Workshops with Dianne Rodwell
Beginners and experienced encaustic artists will all learn something new in this hands-on exploration of creating with beeswax. Learn pouring, brushing, rolling, collage and hot air manipulation of surface molten wax. Dianne will demonstrate the basic techniques of lifting, scumbling, layering and incising pigmented and unpipgmented encaustics. Students will be working on ceramic tile, paper and oil-primed wood.

NEW: Dianne at The Clayton Center on YouTube.

From surface preparation to the framed finished work, Dianne will share contemporary approaches and tools for this ancient medium. Participants will have time to create several works and to "cook" their own encaustic recipes to take home for future use. Dianne will also demonstrate framing finished encaustic works for professional presentation. All workshop materials are available at Jerry's Artarama and R&F Handmade Paints.

encaustic on tile, 4 x 4"

Dianne's encaustic process: beeswax & damar resin crystals are melted & maintained at 250˚ F, poured in successive layers onto prepared substrate with additions of mixed media, then carved & shaped with various electric hot irons, hot air guns, and butane torches. After cooling & hardening, the wax is buffed to a high sheen. Collector’s note: the wax paintings are impervious to water. Each work is a copyrighted, signed and dated original.
