Will I be able to ask questions?

How much experience do I need in encaustic to take this class?
You should have an understanding and experience in basic encaustic skills. That’s really all you need to get started in this class.

Who is this class for?
This course is for artists who want to take their encaustic work to another level. Working with non-traditional papers (tissue paper) requires a combination of technical knowledge of working with photographs and encaustics and a vision for creating layers and backgrounds.

I’ve never had any formal training in encaustic. Can I still take this class?  
Absolutely, this class can work for you if you’re self-taught or have a formal education in encaustics. This is not a beginners class and will not be covering many of the beginning techniques to encaustic, but will focus on all aspects of working with tissue paper, from the beginning to the end.

I’m not a photographer, is this class suitable for me? 
Yes! All you have to know about photography is that you love taking images and have the technical expertise to get your images from your camera (whether that be DSLR or phone) to your printer. I’ll walk you through how to choose the right image for this process, how to print the images on tissue paper and how to embed them into encaustic.

What kind of supplies will I need?
This is a mixed media class so you will need a variety of supplies.  Upon registration you’ll be granted access to the classroom page where you can download a comprehensive suggested materials list. As this is a masterclass you probably have your favorite ‘go to’ color palette and way of working. The only additional materials you’ll need is tissue paper and I’ll provide you with information on what you need to know along with a couple of suppliers.

When does the course start?
This course is designed as a self-paced course so all the course material is available at your fingertips as soon as you register. Move through this course at your own pace. Skip around, do one video a day, do one video a week, or binge watch them all. Do whatever works best for you.

Does it matter what part of the world I live in? Are the classes live?
You can take this class from anywhere, as long as you have internet access to stream data. All the lessons are recorded, so you can work at your own pace in your own time.

How long will the information be available?
You will have access to the material forever if you download it to your computer. You will be invited to join my Members Only Facebook group so you can get direct feedback from me and other like-minded artists. Enrollment for this course is open twice a year, but the information is available to you at your fingertips once you download the videos and pdf’s to your computer.

Will I need high speed internet to access the videos?
Short answer: Yes.

How are payments handled?
