Encaustic PAINTING workshops
Slow down. Layer in. AND Discover the luminous world of
painting with wax
beaufort, SC
I've been teaching encaustic since 2005. Every workshop is different because every person who walks in brings something different to the work.
The medium does the rest.
Beeswax has a way of surprising you, and watching that happen for someone for the first time is one of my favorite things.
All group sessions are kept small on purpose so you get real instruction and real time with the work. All you have to do is show up.
