Encaustic is a versatile medium. Photographic images can be transferred onto the colored wax. Organic materials including leaves, wood, stone, bones, shells, etc. can be imbedded into the wax. Wire, pieces of rusted metal, pieces of glass, fabric, etc. can also be worked into the wax. Paper images, photographs, drawings can be collaged onto the wax surface and protected infinitely with a coating of wax medium. Stencils (not plastic) can be used. One can, of course, paint an image, representational or abstract, onto the prepared wax surface, as well. However, no artistic ability is required to produce uniquely beautiful encaustic artwork. Therefore, for maximum enjoyment in your first encaustic class, I suggest you bring any of the above mentioned items. If you choose to bring a photograph to transfer onto the wax, please make sure it is a photocopied Xeroxed image, not an ink jet printed image. This is necessary to ensure the image transfers, since a compatible ink is used in the photocopying process. Also, I suggest you bring more than one copy of the image you wish to transfer. A suggestion would be to bring a photo of a favorite person, place or pet. I will have a variety of materials to try, if you choose not to bring anything. Please wear an old shirt or an apron to protect your clothing. I look forward to meeting you all! Victoria Wallace |
