Join the Toronto Art Club by PH1 Studios for a unique hands-on encaustic painting workshop in Toronto exploring molten wax, botanical materials, mixed media techniques, and contemporary art-making.

Set within the historic grounds of The Village at Black Creek, this beginner-friendly creative experience combines art, history, and material exploration. Participants will create original encaustic artwork while drawing inspiration from the Village’s gardens, architecture, landscapes, and handcrafted details.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of encaustic painting, an ancient medium that uses heated wax and pigments to create richly layered and luminous works of art.

Toronto Art Club will guide you through the fundamentals of encaustic painting printmaking, including:
– Working with molten beeswax and pigments
– Embedding dried botanicals into layered surfaces
– Building translucent textures and visual depth
– Creating contemporary mixed media compositions
