Exploration in Encaustic: Layering Image, Texture & Story

$140

with Alaina Enslen

Calendar Next available session starts May 31, 2026 at 9:30 am, runs for 1 week

Through guided demonstrations and open experimentation, students will learn how to build translucent layers, embed materials, incise into wax, and fuse imagery into luminous compositions. We’ll focus on texture, transparency, and the powerful dialogue between surface and story.

Whether you are new to encaustic or looking to deepen your mixed media practice, this class invites curiosity, play, and discovery. This is open to all levels of experience and all materials are included.
