95% of this lot of Encaustics supplies is new never used 5% is gently used once or twice that's it. This lot contains everything you could possibly need to begin encaustic arts. This lot also will definitely refresh a pros stock. The encaustics iron is never used the stylus never used,the griddle used once and it's large so all your color pots will fit and the temperature gauge is very selective so it works well. The wax was purchased from a small Edmonton based encaustics shop,it's high quality pre mixed blocks, as well as there is un mixed wax,so I've also purchased the damar crystal resin. You'll see in the pics I've also literally included everything I use,the pots and bowls are new too,used once and still full.this would make an incredible beautiful gift to a teenage daughter,who's a creative. A wife sister friend. I'm selling because I am trying to save for something important but i don't really want to part with it i have to. This price point is a good deal. I'm willing to entertain offers. Thank you for your time.
