Events IEA EncaustiCon 2012: Are you registered for encaustiCon this year? If so, you are in for a treat. If you’ve never been to San Antonio before, the city has an abundance of sights and sounds. It’s full of amazing art. Watch the video featuring San Antonio art on the encausticon.com website and it will make your decision to come and visit even more enticing. We’ve nearly reached our first initial goal of attendees, and multiple workshops are full. Even a couple of the post-conference workshops are nearing their capacity. We only have two more spaces for the Art Tour San Antonio and The La Vendeene award finalists have been announced. You can find their names on the left hand side of the front page of encaustiCon.com The steering team is busy filling the goodie bags, and signing contracts with vendors. Enkaustikos (please link to ‘ http://www.encausticpaints. com/’ ) and Wax Works West (please link to ‘http://www.waxworkswest.com/ ‘ ) along with other vendors will be at encausticon so you can either fill your travel bags with new encaustic supplies, or we will have shipping options available for you to enjoy when you get home. It’s going to a fantastic weekend full of encaustic fun! The steering team welcomes any and all help, so please, please contact us if you have any suggestions, and especially items for our goodie bags; We’re hoping that each of the IEA chapters send us something from their local members to share amongst encaustiCon™ attendees.
