Discover the Art of Encaustic Painting
A Hands-On Workshop with Artist Brigitte Balbinot
Step into the luminous world of encaustic painting — an ancient art form using molten beeswax, damar resin, and pigment to create richly layered, textured works of art. Join encaustic artist Brigitte Balbinot for an immersive, meditative experience where you’ll explore the dynamic movement of wax and color, guided by nature, intuition, and flame.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to make your own encaustic medium from scratch and gain hands-on experience with core techniques such as layering, fusing, texturing, and mark-making. Brigitte will guide you in using tools like blowtorches and heat guns with confidence and care. Studio safety, workspace setup, and mindful practices are woven throughout the day to support both creativity and well-being.
Whether you’re brand new to encaustic or looking to deepen your skills, this class offers a nurturing environment to explore, play, and let the wax lead. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the medium and the inspiration to continue creating one-of-a-kind encaustic pieces that reflect your unique voice.
