Experiment with different materials to c reate an 8 x 10 collage. All materials are included. \nWhat is Encaustic P ainting? The word “Encaustic” is a Greek word meaning “to heat or bu rn in”. Encaustic medium is made of natural Beeswax and Damar Resin (cry stallized tree sap). The beeswax and resin is melted\, pigment can be adde d\, and applied in layers to a porous surface with 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-m elted to create different effects\, layered in opaque or translucent layer s\, modeled\, textured\, scraped\, sculpted\, polished\, or combined with a variety of materials to create collage works. Unlike other paints\, enca ustic is never wet or dry – it goes from a liquid to a solid state and b ack again in seconds\, allowing additional layers to be added immediately.  \; \;\nThe instructor will reach out to you before class for more details and information!\n\nDates Available: \; August 25th \; or  \; September 22nd \; \;\nTIME: 10AM to 3PM\nCost: $145.00 - M aterials included.\n \;\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\nClick HER E for Kris' Artist Bio\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\n \;\n\n\n \;\n\n\n\ n\n\n[wpforms id="44859" title="true" description="true"]\n\n\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
