Encaustic WorkI have now been accepted into the Guild of Essex Craftsmen for this craft!I'll be teaching Encaustic art at HYLANDS HOUSE CHELMSFORD (phone to book: 01245 605555) ON SUNDAY 30TH OCTOBER (10 - 3PM). PLUS QUEENS HALL, HALSTEAD, ESSEX on SATURDAY 10TH December, see www.wearehandmade.co.uk for more details and to book! I first discovered encaustic art (the art of painting with molten wax, using amongst other things a specially designed iron!) at the NEC in Birmingham and went straight home and ordered myself a kit (via my husband) for Christmas. At first I tinkered with my iron using the Michael Bossom's encaustic books as my guide, then I discovered the Encaustic Art Trainer's Network. I have now been an encaustic trainer since October 2003, after successfully completing the T1 Basic Techniques course. Since then I have run many two-hour beginner's courses, covering such topics as abstracts, building landscapes and exploring encaustic techniques. To find out more about the encaustic lessons I provide click here. My Gallery Above (left to right): Art Nouveau collage (size approx A6). Castle in the Sky - hotplate work (A3).
