Private Workshops on request
I Day Private Workshops 9 am - 5 pm
$200 per day
An in-depth,
individualized 1 day workshop is available by arrangement for those who
cannot fit a longer session into their schedule. We can focus on specific
areas of interest to you, technically assist you with your encaustic project
and enable you to begin to integrate encaustic methods into your own
studio. Although these can be used as introduction to encaustic painting,
please note that you will be receiving a highly concentrated amount of new
information in a short period of time. It is recommended that you take the
Mini Workshop to orient yourself to the basics. |
All workshop prices enclude the encaustic materials you will be using during the workshop as well as the use of encaustic tools. Lunch is provided during the 3 day workshop, light refreshments will be provided for the mini workshops.
Once you sign up for a workshop, we will send a list of suggested painting surfaces for you to use as well as other materials you can "play" with. All workshops require a 30% deposit one week before the date, refundable up to 24 hours before the workshop begins.
