Solstice, Wax & Wildflowers
A Summer Solstice Encaustic Workshop with Brandy Ringelmann
Celebrate the arrival of summer in a truly beautiful and meaningful way on Sunday, June 21 from 11 AM – 3 PM at the picturesque Nuevo Malacatos Farm in Brighton.
Join mixed media artist Brandy Ringelmann for a creative Summer Solstice experience exploring the ancient art of encaustic collage using pressed flowers, layered papers, and molten beeswax. Pack a lunch and refreshments, there will be time to refuel and take breaks.
Encaustic is one of the oldest known painting techniques, dating back to the ancient Greeks, created by combining melted beeswax with tree resin to produce a luminous, richly layered surface. In this immersive workshop, participants will preserve delicate pressed wildflowers and natural materials within warm translucent wax, creating a one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork inspired by the season.
Held among the beauty of the countryside at Nuevo Malacatos Farm, this workshop is a celebration of the natural elements that make summer so magical—bees, flowers, trees, sunshine, creativity, and connection.
Perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike, this relaxed and inspiring day invites participants to slow down, create with intention, and welcome the abundance of the Summer Solstice through art.
