I've been invited to create a canvas for the Welsh collection for‪ "Imago Mundi‬" The main ambition of the collection is to pass on to future generations a visual map of human cultures; in this case for Wales.

Very pleased to be able to show Suzy some tricks today to develop her skills in encaustic. We had great fun 'playing' together all day. Used hot guns, fire, scraping tools, charcoal - you name it we used it! Thank you for coming Suzy. I look forward to seeing your work in the future. #Workshop #MelanieWilliams #encaustic #Bala #wax

I have so much joy when painting with wax. I lose all sense of time and just switch off. Colour's and weave once again to create an Undergrowth. #wwwmelaniewilliamsnet #wax #Wales #Bala #encaustic

Had a wonderful day filming with Ruth Wignall from the ITV Wales Coast and Country Programme. I showed her how to paint using an encaustic iron and beeswax. We had great fun mixing the colours and playing with the texture. I think she is now a convert and will be doing more encaustic art! I will let you all know when the programme is on TV. It won't be long. #RuthWignall #wwwmelaniewilliamsnet #MelanieWilliams #Encaustic #Wax #Bala #Wales

Encaustic painting gives me space to breathe. I escape to my studio with the beautiful views across the river and the open fields and I am immediately uplifted before I start. I switch on my hot tools and the excitements begins. Some days I have no idea what I am going to do when I start and then something leaps off the paper and I am away. During this time I become engrossed in the colours, smells and textures I create and I lose all sense of time. #encaustic #wax #Melan
