Encaustic Art at Sandringham

2010-08-10T16:13:00.002Z

From Friday 13th to Sun 15th, August, I'll be at the Sandringham Art, Craft & Sculpture show.

I'll be demonstrating all the while and, if space permits, I'll be running half hour long workshops where people can get their first taste of encaustic art for just £2. They keep all that they can make in that time! They also get a coupon worth £2 to spend with me that day!

I'll also have lots of things for sale - some of my work but also encaustic supplies in abundance!

If anyone wants one of my £45.90 starter sets (includes the iron!), I'll give them £6 worth of card free with it at the show.

Steinel heat gun

I've got a few Steinel heat guns in stock now.
These are like the ones used in the "Exploring ideas" and "Hobby to Art" encaustic wax DVDs.

Encaustic price rises inevitable.

2008-05-06T17:01:00.003Z

My prices for encaustic supplies have changed very litle for many years now.
Unfortunately, some prices will soon have to rise.
A lot of encaustic stuff is imported via Holland, so the Pound/Euro ratio can affect wholesale prices quite dramatically.

I've only recently printed an order form which stated "valid for 2008" or something like that; if you have one of those, I'll try to honour all the prices on there for the whole of this year.

But, my buying prices are set to rise substantially next month so eventually, my retail prices will have to increase too. My next printing of the order form will show some of those increases.

I guess the message is "if you need supplies, buy them soon!

I'll be demonstrating all the while and, if space permits, I'll be running half hour long workshops where people can get their first taste of encaustic art for just £2. They keep all that they can make in that time! They also get a coupon worth £2 to spend with me that day!

I'll also have lots of things for sale - some of my work but also encaustic supplies in abundance!

Different encaustic book now in stock

2007-11-14T19:55:00.000Z

"Are there no books on encaustic apart from those 3 by Michael Bossom?" I get asked quite often.
There are some others and I've now got a good supply of "Wax Art" by Hazel Marsh.

This has 122 pages with lots of different ideas and all quite simple stuff. I'm selling it for £9.50 although the RSP is about £12.95

I think it's out of print now so if you want one, buy now!

Encaustic Wax demonstration at Walton Library

2007-08-23T14:32:00.000Z

On Monday last, I appeared in Walton (Essex) library in the afternoon and set up my demo area.
I didn't really expect to see many people but several came along and most stayed quite a while. One lady stayed for the whole afternoon just captivated by how encaustic works.

Encaustic wax art workshops

2007-03-13T08:40:00.000Z

Well. The event on the Suffolk showground over the weekend was well attended (by dogs especially - it seemed that every dog that wasn't at Crufts, was there on the showground!
The encaustic workshops , even though only £2 for 30 minutes, were never fully subscribed but those that did partake enjoyed themselves.
I sold a few small encaustic wax paintings so that was good. I also started off several new customers with a new hobby of encaustic waxing.

This weekend, then, on the Suffolk Showground, I shall be running encaustic wax workshops.
Four times each day, 30 minutes per session. £2 per person . Book by ticket bought from me on the day.
Suitable for everyone particulary the "non-artistic"!
The £2 fee is refundable if you then spend £5 or more with me on supplies or pictures.
Yes, I'll have pictures for sale as well as kits, waxes, stamps, card, DVDs etc.
The rest of the while, I'll be demonstrating.

Encaustic workshop?

2007-03-07T08:51:00.000Z

If I'm not running the workshops, I'll be demonstrating all the while.
The public can have a go then too but just one at a time.

Encaustic Art

OK - here I am, trying to see what blogging is all about by creating one of my own.
It's for Encaustic Art. Something which has kept me amused for over 17 years so far.
