Embedding (and Pouring) "Stuff" in Encaustic Painting!
Friday May 30, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
When do you embed actual objects – such as string, shells, glass, flowers, or a random shoe - into your encaustic paintings? When do you represent, abstract, or suggest images through mark making? Who has practiced these techniques over time? Do you pour wax to create a welcoming surface, or adhere them while painting? Together, we will explore these and other questions, issues, concerns, and fun in our practice.
