The word “Encaustic” is a Greek word meaning “to heat or bur n in”. Encaustic medium is made of natural Beeswax and Damar Resin (crys tallized tree sap). The beeswax and resin is melted\, pigment can be added \, 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.\n\nThe wax can be re-melted to create different effects\, layered in opaque or translucent layers\, modeled\, textured\, scraped\, sculpted\, polished\, or combined with a variety of materials to create collage works. Unlike other paints\, encaustic is never wet or dry – it goes from a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds\, allowing additional layers to be added immedia tely.\n\nThis class will teach you the basics in Encaustic painting. Learn how to melt the medium and keep it within a safe working temperature\, to ols required and safety precautions to get you started. Experiment with di fferent materials to create an 8 x 8 collage. Bring your lunch and beverag es. Studio Sessions will be socially distanced and CDC guidelines will be followed.\n\nDates: June 11\, 2021 or August 20\, 2021\n\nTime: 10AM to 3P M - Lunch Break Incl.\n\nCost: $125.00 - Materials Included\n\nLocation: Cumming Arts Center - Upstairs Classroom\n\n \;\n\n[wpforms id="44859" ]\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
