This two day comprehensive workshop is designed for the purpose of learning the traditional techniques of the ancient encaustic medium and combining it with more contemporary methods and approaches. Instruction is individualized and intended for the more non-traditional artist who enjoys combining different methods and approaches.
The two-day course will begin a demonstration of the materials and tools of encaustic. Course handouts and class demonstrations will give students hands-on knowledge of how to use Wagner Encaustic Paints, mix colors, fusing tools, palette preparation and application. The class will also include, examples of work, and an informative lecture on the history of the medium with rare texts and resources on hand for perusal and discussion.
On the second day, with knowledge of basic tool handling and application, students can choose their own approach to integrate collage and mixed media. As the class progresses, there will be one on one critiques followed by a short critique and discussion at the end of day two of the class.
Alll students are provided with two birch panels; 1/8" x 8" and 1/12" x 12".
Coffee and scones provided each morning. You can bring your lunch or we often order take out from a nearby restaurants.

Review of Weekend Wax Immersion, August 19, 2009
What can be better than 20 artists, hot wax/pigment, time to create and a great instructor? Nothing! What I really appreciated about the workshop Elise taught was the production time. Elise inherently knows that time doing, is time learning She gaves us the information we needed about encaustic and then let us have at it. It was a day of exploration with a master artist sharing her gift.

Review of Weekend Wax Immersion, June 22, 2009
I had the good pleasure of taking an encaustic painting workshop from Elise Wagner this past weekend. It was exactly what I wanted and expected. She is a very knowledgeable and able workshop teacher. She answered every single question from painting technique to the business side of art. Her demonstrations were very thorough and easy to understand. On top of all that Elise is a very nice person and has no ego. I felt like I was at a old friend's studio, learning about art, not with someone I had just met. I highly recommend Elise Wagner's workshop to anyone interested in learning about encaustic painting.
