Master Classes in Encaustic


Picture
Diane Bowie Zaitlin
I offer master classes in my studio to artists with all levels of expertise.
Whether you are a novice, a professional artist seeking technical guidance for a specific project, or someone wanting to refine their technical and artistic skills, we can work together to meet your needs. Each session is a combination of demonstrations and independent work time tailored to your needs. I offer a space for exploration and open-mindedness where I will be available to answer questions and offer guidance.
You may choose from the following areas of focus:
  • Introduction to Encaustic
  • Mixed media Encaustic
  • Encaustic Collage
  • Encaustic with Photography
The classes are in my studio in Saco, Maine, near our beautiful beach and woods. We meet from 10-3 at a cost of $250 a day (minimum of two days). This fee includes most materials and the use of my tools and equipment.

There is a balance of demonstration and work time, as well as an openness to your questions throughout the session.
​I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with others and would look forward to helping you develop your
 individual artist voice.
