    As an artist who works with a lot of different materials, it was awesome to be able to explore a new medium that allows for quick drying and lots of exploration into texture shape and drippage. Aaron was a great workshop leader. He was very attentive and in tune with when I wanted guidance and when I wanted some freedom and independence. Highly recommend.

    Class was small and personal with an instructor who was very upbeat and willing to help. Wax painting was fun, unique & therapeutic! Highly recommend even for completely novice artists like myself :)

    This class was a great introduction to encaustic paintings for someone who knows very little about the topic. The class is spit into instructional and hands on portions (the whole evening went by quickly!). Participants leave with one or two panels, depending on how much time you want to spend exploring different methods. The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would recommend this class to anyone.
