Healdsburg Center For The Arts

ENCAUSTIC, COLLAGE AND ASSEMBLAGE (10-17

years)

Encaustic - the art of painting in hot wax - is an incredibly versatile art form. Students will delight in discovering its beautiful, luminous and shadowy effects. Encaustic is an ideal medium for assemblage, mixed media and collage. Students will layer, glaze, embed, impress, dip and use stencils and screens to create unique works of art with melted beeswax, crayons and/ or paraffin in addition to a variety of other materials. Low temperature griddle, Bunsen burners, gloves and protective eyewear will keep it safe.
