ENCAUSTIC ART SUPPLIES: 

Encaustic Art is a brand range/product line that started in 1987 in the UK'  It consists of specially formulated molten coloured wax (which do not contain resin or dangerous pigments), heated tools, and other materials that will enable anyone to enter into an artistic act, whether or not they paint using traditional methods. This fascinating & versatile art activity can be a hobby, a craft, a therapy, relaxation, a leisure art, or a fine art - it all depends on you.  There are many approaches to encaustic work, but heat needs to be involved to make sense of the term encaustic (to burn in).
