Encaustic Classes
It has been a couple of years since I have taught Encaustic Classes and I have had numerous requests to hold another class. As we prepare to move north, closer to our grandchildren, time is running out to offer a class here in Southern Alberta. If you have wanted to learn about this ancient art form or took one of my earlier classes and want to brush up on your skills, I will be offering an Introductory class followed by an intermediate class in the new year that will expand on techniques that encaustic has to offer.
Most supplies are included; students will be asked to bring a few personal supplies. **
All classes will be held at Taber Arts and Crafts Centre, 4830B 50Ave Taber, AB
