Maker's bio

Hi, I am passionate about encaustic wax as I hope you can tell from the reviews by previous students. Being able to pass on my knowledge and little tricks of the trade is a real pleasure. I have been painting all my life, but ‘found’ encaustic whilst studying as a mature student at Art College. I was hooked! I am a member of the International Encaustic Artists organisation (IEA) and a prize winner for my encaustic work. My workshops are always fun. We pack a lot in, but the time just flies!

Els reviewed: Bespoke Contemporary Fine Art Encaustic Wax Workshop.

"I have had a wonderful course. Two days of learning how and what about encaustic painting. I love the way Lynn thinks about teaching. She asked how I want to learn and then she helped me to develop my skills. Everybody who knows encaustic a bit come a lot further in skills. Thanks Lynn for these wonderful two days! Els beemer Delft, the Netherlands."

Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop responded:

"Dear Els, thank you so much for travelling to spend time with me to develop your skills with encaustic wax. You have produced some lovely pieces of work, and I hope you will continue your journey and find your voice. It’s such a special medium, invoking so many emotions. Safe journey home at the end of the week Lyn "

Pat Wilson reviewed: Bespoke Photo-encaustic workshop

"Have just spent a few days with Lyn doing both the encaustic wax art and photography course. Knew absolutely nothing about either and no artistic talent however Lyn is a great, patient and very knowledgeable teacher. Her love of her art clearly comes through, really enjoyed my two days. She is very welcoming and good at giving guidance without taking over any project. Many thanks once again Lyn"

Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop responded:

"Thank you Pat for your enthusiasm and company. You now have some knowledge of encaustic wax art (a lot more than many people), and produced some lovely work! Lovely to meet you. Good luck with your future artistic endeavours Lyn "

Jenny C reviewed: Bespoke Contemporary Fine Art Encaustic Wax Workshop.

"Lyn is a lovely, warm person and a great, tolerant teacher. She covered so much over the day and I came away with loads of information on encaustic techniques, and an encaustic painting that I am very proud of, I couldn't wait to hang it."

Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop responded:

"Thank you for your kind words Jenny. Look forward to seeing more of your encaustic paintings. Kindest regards Lyn "
