Want to do something unique and hands on with your photography? Want to create one of a kind art pieces to give to your clients or sell? Join Kayla Barker in learning the art of encaustic wax to enhance your photography. She will teach you how to turn your photography into wax infused photographs which are encapsulated with a mixture of hot beeswax and tree sap and enhanced with oil paint. This process, known as encaustic, is one of the oldest forms of painting and preserving imagery. During this Masterclass, Kayla will be sharing the history, art form and steps to using encaustic wax to enhance your photography and you will be making 3-6 of your own encaustic wax pieces using your own photographs. **You will need to bring your own photographs printed on Hahnemuhle photo rag paper. Details and instructions will be sent a few weeks before. All other supplies will be provided.**

Masterclass will cover: 
  • history of encaustic 

  • supplies and types of wax 
  • working safely with encaustic 

  • choosing the right photographs
 
  • brushing and layering 

  • adding texture and collaging 

  • adding color with pigment sticks and oil 

  • how to work large scale 
  • preservation and care

Whether it's through paid speaking gigs, workshop fees, or selling accompanying products or education, speaking can become a profitable avenue in your entrepreneurial journey.

Welcome to a transformative journey into the world of videography, tailored specifically for photographers ready to expand their horizons.
