What you need to begin Encaustic Art
This short page of advice is just to help you choose the right products to get started with the fascinating hobby, craft and art of encaustic wax creativity. Basically you need a flat workspace, some protective disposable paper to cover your table top and some more to go under the cards as you work on them. These under-card pieces will be thrown away and replaced as soon as they are tarnished with a colour that you don't want to re-melt and drag back into your current artwork. You will also need some soft tissue for cleaningand polishing and a power point to plug the heated tools into. Then get an IRON, some WAX COLOURS, and some sealed WHITE CARD.
The IRON - 99530100
Purpose made for sustained low heat controllability, this light iron is an ideal. No steam holes, no coating (just polished metal base plate), light-weight and adaptable into a mini-hotplate too. The high quality thermostat holds an even working temperature.
* Some travel irons may work, but need to hold consistent low temperature, etc.
