About Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop

Hi, I am passionate about encaustic wax as I hope you can tell from the reviews by previous students. Being able to pass on my knowledge and little tricks of the trade is a real pleasure. I have been painting all my life, but ‘found’ encaustic whilst studying as a mature student at Art College. I was hooked! I am a Director at Artwey CIC, a South Dorset Community Art group, and a prize winner for my encaustic work. My workshops are always fun. We pack a lot in, but the time just flies!

I will help you to...

On this Studio day, you have the choice of painting on a larger panel (approx 60cm x 45cm) or a smaller triptych (three panels approx 15cm x 45cm each). I will be on hand to advise, but essentially this day is about you being...

Photo-Encaustic Workshop

Photo-Encaustic Workshop

In-person course

Dorset - Next course on 21st October 2020

This session focusses on the technique of photo-encaustic. This is particularly of interest to those people who may have already attended my Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop (but not a pre-requisite), and who wish to progress creating photographic based encaustic artwork. The importance of creating a smooth and even surface upon which to embed imagery is vital on this one day workshop, and we will spend some time honing this skill. There are two main methods of creating a photo-encaustic painting. Transposing the printed image to the surface on paper and...
