Houston members are taking turns throughout the day demonstrating different Encaustic painting techniques. Any TexasWAX member in Houston that day is welcome to participate.
Just let Gwen know when you will be there. We are not allowed to sell merchandise but we will have work there for examples. Besides letting the people of Houston in on the secrets of this wonderful medium, participating in this event will also be a great recruiting opportunity for new artist members. Hope to see you there.
