Hi all, am now hoping to start out in encaustic art... any recommendations on resources/websites/shops where i can get materials and/or tools?
Am fairly new to this type of art, but as soon as i've had a play i'll see if i can get some pics of my stuff up for you guys to take a look at.

You're gonna fit right in here :r
Back to your question, if you are in the Uk the best prices and service that we have found is:Wakes Waxes
or for more info take a look at Arts Encaustic
Hope you have fun.
Any questions please ask, we have two experienced waxers and a learner in our midst.
Regards Jenny

Hi darkphoenix. I'm a newbie to waxing too. The best info I could give you is just read the instructions in your kit and then just start waxing. Have lots of paper and lots of tissues to wipe the iron off with and a good lighted area. Thats how I'm starting and I'm having a great time. Good luck and please share what you are doing with us. :wave:

I love your tag line too. :r
