Encaustic Art by Hazel facebook

My work space and shop

I paint with melted beeswax.,
I have been creating pictures for over 20 years
I find the melted wax is perfect for recreating the rolling hills of the Pennines.
I have a work space and shop in 'The Loft' at Tunnel End Marden, on the top floor of the Visitor Centre, I am open 10 till 4 Saturdays and Sundays. You can watch me making these fascinating picture and buy original art from me, prices start at £2.50.
Encaustic Art is produced by melting pure coloured beeswax blocks onto the base of a hot iron and spreading to create wonderful paintings.
The art form itself originates from ancient Egypt and Greece.
They used a charcoal fire and heated up a knife to spread the wax. There are still some early examples in the British Museum.
The paintings have a quality difficult to achieve using any other medium.The pictures are permanent and will not fade.
