$675.00
Taught by Gina Adams
R&F brings Encaustic to you. Our 4 day Regional Encaustic Workshops give participants a thorough introduction to the encaustic medium method. Artists with backgrounds in almost any medium will find these workshops are an exciting opportunity to expand their visual vocabulary with wax. Some who attend have little familiarity with encaustic, others have experience working in the medium, but seek to refine their technique. The dynamic created by this diverse mix of artists adds to the learning experience and to the discovery of new techniques and applications. Class size is limited to 10 participants.

I wanted to take a moment and share my experience with Eco Box today. I have several shows coming up and I was in desperate need of packing supplies. I printed out the email from Sharon about our corporate discount and stopped by the store. They gave me a great deal on bubble wrap and boxes. The savings on bubble wrap alone will pay for my membership! All you have to do is stop by or call Abby Blank and she will set you up:
10615 Metric Blvd.
Austin, TX 78758
512-836-7644
512-532-9462 (fax)
Thank you to everyone that has pitched in to make this group so successful and especially to the leadership that I know are working really hard on making our group shine!
