• You've read up on encaustic and watched some videos, and you still haven't put wax on a panel.
  
  
• The tools and setup look overwhelming and you don't know what you actually need.
  
  
• You've got a corner of a room, not a studio, and you don't think that's enough.
  
  
• You keep waiting for a warm enough day to open the windows, because you're not sure it's safe otherwise.
  
  
• You don't want to spend money on a bunch of tools before you know whether you'll even stick with it.
  
  
• You're nervous about the heat gun, the hot plate, and getting the temperature wrong.
  
  
• The supplies are already in the corner, still in the box, because you keep waiting to feel ready.

If you're nodding at even one of these, you're exactly who I built these three days for.

Hi, I'm Jane.

I've been working with encaustic for six years, and I've taught thousands of artists how to get their first layers of wax down.

Here's something I want you to know before we start.

For years my whole setup was an open window in a spare bedroom and a fan I paid fifteen dollars for. That was it. That's what I made my work with, and it was safe, and it was enough.

I've added to it since. You'll see that on day one, and you'll also see the fifteen dollar version, so you can pick the one that fits your space right now.

My art space is still that same small bedroom, by the way.

You don't need a separate studio to do this. You just need a safe spot, a few basics, and someone to show you where to start.

That's what these three days are for.
