Welcome!
I’m delighted that you are signed up for this Introduction to Encaustic Painting class. This medium is very special to me. Beeswax is fragrant, malleable, colorful, and can be a real joy to work with. Please feel free to ask any questions along the way to help you work with it. Thank you again, and let me know if there is anything you need to enhance your online learning experience.
All the best,
Stephanie

• You have indefinite access to this class.
• You can (optionally) share your work with Stephanie via email or via the class Facebook page. Since this is now a self-study class, you will need to let Stephanie know if you upload work, as she doesn’t check the Facebook page as regularly. Click this link and ask to join the group!
