Monotype Madness -
Special offer through November


The Encaustic Center

invites you to create up to 5 small monotypes for
submission into our big Holiday Bazaar in December.
Between now and then just sign up for any three
hours @ $15.00 during any workday and create your
monotypes; paper, equipment and all supplies
included. If you've never done monotypes we will
assist you with the basic technique and if you'd
like to get a full intermediate workshop on the
method you can sign up for one. You'll be painting
with the wax, lifting it directly from the heated
surface onto the paper for beautiful results. It's
a mesmerizing process! Our Holiday Bazaar is a
super well attended event with fantastic holiday
art and craft gifts being offered. Your pieces
will be presented on a table and or stands by
Bonny and Deanna at the time. You need not attend
to have your work shown that day. Be sure that you
bring the work for the Bazaar framed or in a protective
sleeve, labeled and priced; ready for sale. You will
receive the full amount of the sale.

Now available!

Hot Cakes are ready-to-use professional
encaustic paints that come in a convenient reusable
metal tin. The artist-quality colors are made from
the most beautiful pigments, the finest Damar Resin,
and United States Pharmaceutical Grade (USP) Beeswax.
These paints contain no bleach or synthetic adulterants
whatsoever and the Hot Cake tin design makes the encaustic
paints extremely easy to use. Simply unscrew the lid, place
the metal tin full of color onto your hot palette, and allow
your paint to melt. The tin's flat bottom design ensures that
your paint will melt evenly and you can get started right
away on your painting. When you are finished, replace the
lid on your cooled paint and it will keep your paint both
clean and dust-free during storage.
