Encaustic art discovering hotplate
Description
Discovering Hotplates is just that! It's a journey for anyone who wants to explore working with encaustic art wax colours onto card that is on a hotplate. The under-heating melts the wax colours being used and allows numerous possibilities and opportunities for creativity.
Michael Bossom and Wemke de Jong share the tutorials, interweaving their expertise and knowledge. The steps are simple enough and work through the skills needed to evolve and move into the bigger ideas and potentials that this almost addictive approach offers. There are so many creative pathways to explore.

Encaustic Art White Painting Card - A5 and A3 are useful to have.
