Wax and Vision: Building Your Encaustic Language

June 28 - July 3, 2026

Open to All Skill Levels

Encaustics, 2D, Painting

Overview

This workshop invites students—whether new to encaustic or experienced—to turn their experimentation into a cohesive body of work. Through demonstrations, discussion, and guided creative exercises, students will explore color, texture, transparency, and composition while building confidence and continuity in their encaustic practice. Techniques taught in this workshop will become building blocks, allowing students to create a thematic body of work. Students can expect to leave with a deeper understanding of both the medium and their own artistic voice.

Explore the Sculpture Studio

Located on the second floor of the Turner Building, the Sculptural Studio is steps from our Library & Resource Center and next to the Sandra J. Blain Galleries. The flexible nature of this studio makes it ideal for multimedia and sculpture classes where different types of media are being used. Adjacent to the Metals Studio our enamel classes and cold work, glass techniques are often taught in this space, allowing for a free flow of tools and equipment between the two workshops.
