Julie Wrathall

Encaustic Wax Art & Smartphone Photography

My Opening Times

I'll be open 11am - 5pm over both long weekends, plus some additional days in between. 

(If you're making a special trip on the in between days, please contact me to double check I will be here!)

I’m an Encaustic Artist and Smartphone Photographer based in North Cornwall. 

When in my studio, I work with hot molten beeswax, hotplates and heat guns, when out and about, you'll either find me painting plein air, or using my Smartphone Camera to capture my inspiration.

Alongside my fascination for hot wax painting, and occasional traditional painting methods, I’ve reconnected with my love of photography... Offering Smartphone Photography Workshops and Photoshoots with Jet Black Squares, combining art and photography, and teaching people how to take great photos on their phones whilst out exploring the surrounding countryside.

 

Workshops offered.

I offer in person and online Encaustic Wax painting workshops, and I run Smartphone Photography workshops.

Free demos offered.

I offer free encaustic wax painting demonstrations in my studio for visitors. 

Discover how to paint using hot motlen wax... watch me paint using a variety of unusual tools, including heated stylus, iron, hot plate and heat guns!

Very few locations stock encaustic equipment, however, I will have a handful of supplies available for sale in the studio, I'm also happy to chat through equipment with you, and place orders for any items not in stock on your behalf.

I'm also happy to chat about Smartphone Photography, and who and how our Jet Black Squares Smartphone sessions can help.

Further information

I run online and in person encaustic wax art workshops, sharing the ancient art of hot wax painting... A beautiful immersive experience, using irons, stylus, heatguns and hotplates to melt, glide, and manipulate wax into its finished form.  

I also help you master your smartphone, again, online or in person... helping you to capture photos and memories that you will love to look back over.

Both are suitable whether you claim not to draw a straight line, or you're a professional artist.  Teenagers through to Grandparents...!
