Workshops

Encaustic - painting with melted beeswax - is an exciting, ancient technique that is gaining momentum as a preferred method for more and more artists and hobbyists alike.  The texture, luminosity and depth of colour are incredible!

We run half and full-day encaustic workshops throughout the year at ‘the hive’  in Alton, ON (just south of Orangeville, ON – www.altonmill.ca) and in various other locations.  These popular workshops fill quickly.  Check out our encaustic workshop schedule or contact us for more information.
