Private Workshops:


One or two-day workshops can be given in the basics of encaustic painting at my studio at the City of Novato Arts Center at Hamilton Field, Novato, California.

These one-on-one sessions are designed to give an overview of the medium, safety requirements, and the many versatile uses of the medium ,and is comprehensive enough to start you exploring on your own the multitude of possibilities inherent in this exciting medium. All materials are furnished. The one day gives the basics in encaustics with no hands on working time and the two-day will cover all of the above plus working time to experience the wax. The cost of a one-day private class is $450, which includes at least 6 hours of instruction and all materials. The two-day is $850, which also includes all materials with at least 12 hours of instruction and work time.

The basics of the following topics will be covered:

  Encaustic methods and materials
  Safety measures and precautions
  Supports and surfaces, preparing panels
  Combining encaustics with other mediums
  Etching and mark making
  Techniques of collage, gold leafing, and image transfer
