| Michael Bossom started working with wax in 1986/7. After more than 4 years
of developing the techniques and marketing of Encaustic Art he invited Cor
van Empel to come and meet him in Wales. Cor soon became deeply interested
in the possibilities that encaustic showed. His business as an International
specialist schools supplier offered a very good platform for initial exploration
of markets and then distribution of the products.
Cor funded Michael's first Video in the Autumn of 1991 and things grew
from there. The starter sets were developed to offer the necessary materials
to those who wanted to experience the fascination of this encaustic activity
for themselves. Low-heat controlled tools were specified and manufactured
to enable safe and effective use of the waxes. Soon the international
business was on its way. Together Cor and Michael have caused the spread
of their encaustic art which uses a small iron as the main tool, to spread
around the globe. This web site is a continuation of that work.
