Description
Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium to which colored pigments have been added. The molten mix is applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are sometimes used. The possibilities are endless. The transparency of the wax lends itself to layering, embedding found objects, and all sorts of ways to transfer images. Encaustics can be successful with no artistic skills and be taken to extraordinary levels with direction and practice. Because encaustics uses heat and flame to build, I like to schedule these workshops in the winter months, between October through March.

Testimonials
The Money Trees made the perfect gift for my wedding party. Each tree was personalized for each attendant. With beautiful packaging and story of the money tree.
I like to give my employees appreciation gifts during the holidays. The money trees are fun to give knowing they are one of a kind. I appreciated the fact they are made by a local artist in Georgia.
I created a small forest in my hallway. The Money Trees are perfect to decorate small spaces. Every one of them is unique.
