Hope you do go on to teach it. Demo's are a great way to get started. That way you get used to taking to potentisl encaustic artists and you quickly learn how to pass on your knowlegde. The first time i got my irons, i took them to a college watercolour class to practise, cos i hadn't seen it demonstrated or even read a book about it? I just saw Barry's Wizzard article in a craft magazine and begged the college to get me some irons to get practised with and teach eventually. I faffed about, made a right mess, but gradually over the 3 hour class something emerged, and pretty soon all the class was gathered round me and even the Tutor who had never seen anything like it in his life before. They were all intrigued. I let them all have a play and gradually began to notice how they were getting it wrong, and i was saying, Oh well if you hold your wrist like this or your iron like that you get this effect? If you can spot and explain what others need to do to achieve the effects, then you are more than half way there.  Poppy |
