Class Testimonials

"Jess Greene understands art and teaching so thoroughly. Her intro to Encaustics, “Technique Overview Extravaganza” class was not only very informative and instructional, but also lots of fun and open to many styles of interpretation. Jess is incredibly inspiring and creative and transfers that enthusiasm and knowledge freely as a teacher. We 4 students in her workshop each came away with completely different results from the same guidance through the process. I plan to take more workshops from her."
- Mary W.

 

"It was more than I hoped for and expected.  I think it was your groundedness and confidence, Jessica, that made it all go so smoothly - like hot wax on a very absorbent substrate - us."
-Joyce R.

18-19th Auguster 2012: Personal Narratives in Wax [DATE CHANGE]
A Weekend Workshop at Teahouse Studio in Berkeley, California; 10AM-5PM each day
Your experiences and memories are power and in these two days we will harness that power and pour it into wax. Creating art with encaustic paint is an amazing construction process of layering on, melting down, carving out, and building up. This class will cover the basic techniques of working with encaustics and stretch you to explore ways of bringing your personal narrative into your work.
