Map Making in Encaustic

Sunday, September 27 / 10 am – 4 pm

Carve your own map of anywhere. Real or imagined, near or far. Hot wax allows you to build up mountain ranges, carve out rivers and valleys, and then etch in smaller details like roads and paths. Experience the full sensual and textural nature of encaustic in this fun and exciting class. Students will complete one 9×12” piece. Stencils and masks of Lake Tahoe will be available for those who want to complete a map of the Tahoe area.
