encaustic mentoring

Whether you are an absolute beginner, an established encaustic artist, or at any point in between, encaustic mentoring is a gentle process that will help guide you as you embark on or continue your journey with encaustic painting.  

I will work with you on anything related to your encaustic practice.  This may include encaustic techniques and processes (glazing, ink, pan pastels, oil sticks, masking off areas, etc),  helping you work through creative barriers and blockages, or helping you to define and implement  business goals related to your encaustic practice.

Mentoring  will take place at The Hive Encaustic Studio.  I will work with you on an ongoing basis as needed.  You do not need to have previous encaustic experience.   All supplies, wax, and equipment are included with the exception of substrates (boards).   

I recognize that when working one on one with an artist, it is important that the fit is a good one.  Prior to beginning our work together, we will chat about what it is you are hoping to learn.  If my skill set is not well suited to meet your needs, I will do my best to refer you to another encaustic artist who's teachings are in line with your goals. 

$40 per hour plus hst with a minimum of 2 hour sessions if you have not worked with me before.

1 hour sessions may be booked if you are a returning student.

You may follow up your mentoring session with Open Studio time if you wish at a rate of $20 per hour (no instruction)

Multi Day options will also be available for individuals who wish for an immersive experience or for those coming from out of town.
