Welcome to this ARCHIVE AREA of the original encaustic.com site created between 1996 up until 2015. Then a responsive site was necessary to keep up with advancing internet practices.

It contains lots of useful information, but is no longer updated. Links will lead you to the areas of interest and youcan always go back to the main modern responsive site too. The Encaustic Art brand changed logo and packaging in 2017 so many of the brand photos will become outdated, but the information about encaustic painting and encaustic work remains relevant.

In the ARCHIVE, any product links have been updated and will take you to the current Encaustic Shop.
Many of the ARCHIVE links will open in new tabs. If that happens just close it when you are finished and the menu / original page you were on will still be there in the first tab (original page).

We hope some of this encaustic knowledge and technique may be helpful to you.
