1-Day Encaustic Retreat
ENCAUSTIC PAINTING • RESTORATION • FOCUS ON ART
Indulge in a full day deep-dive into the ancient art of encaustic painting. “Painting with Fire” with a group of spirited creatives is a unique experience that I'm thrilled to share with this small group. Opt to begin your day with light yoga/stretching in nature. Learn my personal painting techniques and secrets during in-depth demos. If desired, my Soup-to-Nuts education and supply list sheet will allow you to begin your encaustic practice on your own! One-on-one instruction and free-paint-time result in luminous works in glorious hues and textures. Enjoy poolside treats while dipping toes in the water. Conclude your day fireside with a toast to new friends and our signature closing experience.

“I’ve carefully curated this day to embody exactly what I’d personally like to receive as a gift to myself. The gift of art and soul nourishment.”
