Hello bees!

It’s time for Part II on the wonderful workshop given by Daniella Woolf, Encaustic with a Textile Sensibility. (Click here for Part I.) This part will focus on encaustic artists whose work references fabric in some way, so that it has a textile sensibility but does not necessarily contain textiles within the work.

Let’s start with Carlos Estrada-Vega. This pieces incorporates oil, pigments, oleopasto and wax to create a beautiful patchwork look.

Next up, we have Robert Larson. Larson creates his pieces using discarded cigarette packages, weaving them into a geometrical tapestry, such as this piece titled Adventure Team.

And lastly, Deborah Kapoor uses encaustic and paper on wood to create her beautiful pieces. I wish I had a quilt with this printed on it!

Stay tuned for Part III of this post, where we explore textile artists that would be great in encaustics.
