Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop with Lyn Kirkland

JC reviewed: Bespoke Contemporary Fine Art Encaustic Wax Workshop.

"My daughter bought me a voucher for a full day workshop with Lyn in her studio. It was a surprise present and I was very excited as it is not a subject I know anything about and was a really unusual and thoughtful gift. I took up art when I retired, mainly acrylics and watercolour, and I also teach community art classes in Dorset. I have been on many workshops but never one like this. Lyn was extremely welcoming (had made cake!) and a caring person. I was fascinated by her artisan studio which is rammed with every conceivable colour of wax and lots of her work. She was extremely generous with materials and information and took me through the whole process step by step. It was a fascinating day and a fantastic present. I now appreciate how knowledgeable Lyn is on this subject - one of the top in the UK - and also how committed she is to educating people worldwide to understand and enjoy this process. I would totally recommend anyone to go on one of her workshops.”"

"It was my pleasure. You both worked very hard and produced two very different, but equally nice pieces. Hope they are up on the wall somewhere! Many thanks for the review Lyn "

"I spent a day with the very lovely Lyn on her encaustic art course and it was great! A wonderful way to learn a new creative technique - Lyn is a brilliant and inspiring teacher with infectious enthusiasm for her craft. She generously shares all of her knowledge and expertise. Her studio is well equipped and as well as being informative and creative the course was fun. I'd highly recommend. "

"Lyn's two day workshop, encompassing an introduction to encaustic painting and then how to embody photos within an encaustic painting, was comprehensive. I had no previous experience of using hot wax. Lyn took me through the process, enabled me to experiment and understand the basic methods and the possibilities. She has clearly thought out how to present the information, with clear handouts as back up, and structured practical work. I came away with five pictures and a wealth of ideas! Highly recommend! "
