In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the possibilities of encaustic paint applications that expand beyond the brush. Participants will work with various non-brush heating tools including electric tjanting tool, hot-wax stylus,hot-wax pen, and more. Participants will be working on a variety of substrates, including panel, tile and plaster cloth forms. These brush alternatives are great for drawing techniques and for adding line and texture to your work.These techniques can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional encaustic painting applications. Come explore the possibilities of developing work that goes beyond the brush!
