Encaustic Workshops

Encaustic is the art of painting with molten beeswax mixed with colored pigments and resin. The results are like no other medium—mysterious, deep, and translucent, with a glow that seems to emanate from within. I offer a wide variety of beginning and intermediate workshops in my private studio in SE Portland throughout the year and I teach internationally during the summer.

Student Comments:

I recentely took the Begining Encaustic class and loved it!! Linda is extremely knowledgable on different ways you can use encaustic. I also liked how all of the supplies were included in the class and that plenty of information was provided as to where to buy them. I really enjoyed this class and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a class to kick start their creative energy. Linda is fun, patient and very helpful. Thanks for such a great class! -- Jena

Linda is just the all-round perfect teacher. She is so creative, very patient. She intuitively knows what is needed for each individual student... she knows when to jump in and when to step back... always there to inspire -- love that! Her instruction is easy to follow and doesn't even mind when she's asked a million questions about things she already covered ;-) All this and she's fun too! More classes, more classes, more classes... love encaustic from Linda... soak it up!
-- Nancy

What a weekend! I have to admit I was exhausted last night. I learned so much that I don't think I've processed it all yet. Linda, thank you for your generous, calm and succinct teaching style.
-- Mary

Encaustic and Photography workshop was exactly what I hoped for -- and more! Thank you for hosting us in your wonderful studio and for all of your excellent instruction and generous sharing of tips-learned-the-hard-way. It was a pleasure to get to know you, and I look forward to taking other courses down the road.
-- Patti

Thank you Linda, for teaching me the skills that have enabled me to go to my studio and feel confident in a medium that was little known to me before I met you. Thank you for your attention to each student in your classroom, your patience and for nurturing a love of working in wax.
-- Marilyn
