Discover the possibilities of combining photography and encaustic wax in this hands-on workshop. Participants will explore several techniques for incorporating photographic images into encaustic surfaces, including direct embedding with tissue paper, poured wax, and image transfers.

Learn how to prepare and print images specifically for encaustic work, and experiment with techniques that can produce a range of effects—from crisp and detailed imagery to soft, layered, and beautifully distressed surfaces. Through demonstrations and guided exercises, you’ll explore how wax can transform familiar photographs into atmospheric and expressive works of art.

This workshop is best suited for students with some prior encaustic experience. Participants should be comfortable with the basic tools, materials, and processes of encaustic painting.
