Encaustic Collage
Learn the basics of encaustic and how to combine it with image transfer and mixed-media
Taught by Kasia Avery
Encaustic sounds exotic — but it's incredibly satisfying
Translucent layers of beeswax, built up and fused with heat. Collage elements sealed beneath a luminous surface. Photographs transferred directly into wax. It sounds complex, but encaustic is one of the most forgiving and tactile art forms you can try.
This mini course makes it accessible. In under an hour, you'll learn the fundamentals of working with encaustic medium, then combine it with image transfer and mixed-media techniques to create layered, one-of-a-kind pieces.
No experience needed. Just curiosity, a heat gun, and a willingness to melt some wax.
