Welcome the new year by turning your hopes and intentions for 2027 into a luminous, moving work of art. In this cozy winter workshop, you’ll create shimmering encaustic monoprints on Japanese calligraphy paper, layering color and wax to capture your words, drawings, and wishes for the year ahead.

You’ll then transform your prints into a Calder-inspired mobile using wire, learning how to bend, coil, balance, and assemble the individual pieces into a finished kinetic sculpture. Along the way, you’ll learn encaustic monoprinting techniques, safe use of wax and heat tools, and the fundamentals of balance and movement.

No previous experience is required—just a willingness to experiment, get a little wax on your fingers, and dream about the year ahead. You’ll leave with a unique, ready-to-hang encaustic mobile that brings your intentions to life.

All supplies provided.
