It seems a lifetime ago I came up with the idea…

… to run my encaustic wax workshops on line.  But, looking back, it was only last August that I first launched it.  

I hadn’t planned it. It came to me in a brainwave of Arty Heaven madness and all of a sudden, I just LOVED the idea. There are so few encaustic wax tutors and suppliers in the UK.  I love helping people and sharing the techniques I have learned.  People were saying they WISHED they lived closer, and so, my online school was born.

Just over a year later the results have blown my mind.

More than just reaching the UK audience I had originally intended, I’ve had people sign up from the USA, Canada, Malta, Norway, Ireland and all over the UK….   Simply amazing!

My online course making went on hold after the move from my art studio back in the spring, on top of major house renovations at home… talk about everything happening at once…

But, I am back now… ready to get back into the inspiring seat and help people to embrace these beautiful techniques.

If this is of interest to you, I know it can be a big step to get started, and that voice in your head can often be heard saying ‘don’t be daft, what do you want to do that for?!’

But, I’m pretty sure, once you start this creative process, you’ll find yourself saying, ‘why didn’t I do this sooner?!’

You can get set up with equipment for as little as £45…. (£15 if you have a small travel iron tucked away!)   I have tried to provide an option for every budget to help you get started.

Some of the things previous students have said about creating with wax are:

• “Your teaching was very clear and your teaching style stimulated me to experiment more.”
• “Just wanted to say that I had a great time doing the course and have been experimenting with some artwork, as I am finding it really good fun!”
• “So satisfying to work with.”
• “Encaustic art is brilliant! Oh dear, not enough hours to play in each day!!”

Feel free to forward this post on to your creative friends… and always worth remembering, that it makes a brilliant gift!
