Beginner and advanced encaustic workshops are available for groups and individuals. Group classes taught at my studio do not exceed 3 students. At other locations the classes are limited to 6 or 8.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

MAY 21, 2017 10:30 - 5

NJ Center for Media
Berkeley Heights, NJ

This workshop is taught with noted photographer Nancy Ori. Although geared for photographers looking for new ways to enhance there photo images with encaustic, there is plenty of room for beginners that want to learn the basic encaustic painting techniques too! We also encourage past students to come and join us for the day while they work independently, knowing they will have 2 professional artists that can continue to guide them or give them feedback. Class size is limited and fills up quickly.

Private and small group workshops are also available. Contact Francesca Azzara directly. The supplies included for ALL workshops: heat gun, heated palette, all encaustic paints, beeswax, medium, and pigment sticks. Students must bring their own supports, mark making tools and collage or transfer materials. A detailed supply list will be sent out to those attending a workshop.
