3. Woodwork, Pei-San Ng

While “woodworking” isn’t always an art form, Pei-San Ng sure makes it one. And it’s at LEAST as impressive as those bears carved out of stumps or whatever. He’s doing a bit more than just playing with matches.

9. Encaustic painting, Michael Hayden

Encaustic painting is the art of taking beeswax, melting it, and directing it onto a canvas (or other material), where the artist then manipulates it into something beautiful. Like Michael Hayden’s “Electric Blue,” here.
