The goal of encaustic art uk is to make art acessible to everybody of all ages and abilities. It is for this reason that we take our unique style of art and tools that we use to create Encaustic Art as far an wide as it is possible. Community centres, WI groups, Art groups, Charities and  Churches, NHS Wards, day centres, mental health hospitals.

We don’t stop there though, we also travel around the United Kingdom to many of the Art & Craft Fairs, Agrictulture & Game fairs and Holdiay Festivals with our Encaustic Art supplies trade stall   (Yes, we can even make art accessible to all in the middle of a field!).

We also have a shop at Elsecar Heritage Centre Feel free to pop in if your’e in the area we will always be more than happy to demo any of the products to you and let you have a go before you commit to buying anything.

Encaustic Art is an ancient craft dating right back to the Ancient Egyptions. Today we use a more modern method of melting wax and making marks and patterns with it to create artwork. Using Modern methods we can create artwork, both realistic and fantasy in nature in a very short time using blocks of Bees Wax with coloured pigments.  No less than 48 different colours!

The tools we use to heat the wax blocks today are of course much more modern than those that the Ancient Egyptions used.  Today we use three main heating tools, these are the Encaustic Art Painting Iron, the Encaustic Art Stylus Pro (Graphics tool) and the Encaustic Art Compact Hotplate.  

Each tool has its own unique properties providing three very different methods of melting wax, each producing unique stunning and extremely saticfying results in no time at all.

If you do plan to travel any distance to visit the shop at Elsecar Heritage Centre, please be sure to phone us first on 07824813003 to make sure we’re not out teaching, or at any events.

With the Encaustic Painting Iron and the Encaustic Art Stylus (Graphic Tool) amaze yourself with the potential.   If you add the Compact Hotplate to the mix then you can really start creating all sorts of patterns and textures using our non-heated tools. (see store!)

The Encaustic Art Painting Iron, whilst strikingly similar in looks, very different than a travel iron.  It has a smooth base with no holes in it, and a high quality temperature control that gives you a stable low temperature control and ultimate precision whilst working with molten wax!  The iron also packs flat so it can be used inverted as a Mini hotplate.

You will need a Painting Iron to be able to use the Compact Hotplate.

This Stylus Pro is a heated graphics tool will enable detailed drawing abilities as you work with the wax colours. It works as a pen, a brush and mark making tool.  Typical uses for the Encaustic Art Stylus are intricate borders, and outlines around patterns created earlier by the Encaustic Painting Iron.

The threaded tip fixing system offers quick tip changes and allows many tip and head types to be used. Check out the tips and heads available in the store.

Small and ingenious, the compact hotplate allows you to work directly on it’s surface with a card or lightweight board.

It can be used as a palette for melting and mixing colours, or you can swipe card through molten wax colours to create stunning effects. This compact hotplate is a brilliant addition to your encaustic art tool collection and is the ideal tool to be used with many of our non-heated encaustic art tools (see store!)

Our three Encaustic Art Starter sets provide you with three Encaustic Art Gift packs ranging in price and skill levels.  If you have any queries about our Starter Sets, please do not hesitate to contact Brian at encausticartplus@gmail.com
