Encaustic medium is made of natural Bee swax and Damar Resin (crystallized tree sap). The beeswax and resin is mel ted\, pigment can be added\, and applied in layers to a porous surface wit h brushes and other tools. Wax layers are then reheated to fuse it to the previous layer. Encaustic mediums and paints are a versatile\, spontaneous medium. They can be re-melted to create different effects\, layered in op aque or translucent layers\, modeled\, textured\, scraped\, sculpted\, pol ished\, or combined with a variety of materials to create collage works. U nlike other paints\, encaustic is never wet or dry – it goes from a liqu id to a solid state and back again in seconds\, allowing additional layers to be added immediately.\nDates: \; January 24th\nTime: 10am to 3pm\n Cost: $145.00 per person \; Ages 18+\nAll Materials Included \;\n\ n\nRegistration Payment Policy\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n  \;\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[wpforms id="44859" title="true" descr iption="true"]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Painting LOCATION:Cumming Arts Center @ the Brannon-Heard House\, 111 Pilgram Mill R oad\, Cumming\, GA\, 30040\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=111 Pilgram Mill Road\, Cum ming\, GA\, 30040\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Cumming Arts Center @ the Brannon-Heard House:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
