Course Description

Open your Wings Mixed Media Workshop

This workshop will gently guide you through two projects.

Faux encaustic work of art with found rusty elements and winged hearts. Two additional bonus projects using plaster, clay and image transfer.

These projects will journey through,

~ faux encaustic, ~plaster, ~clay, ~image transfer and ~collage

With prompts to help you spread your wings, find your creativity and journey through the process soulfully.

My goal with this workshop is to give you an intimate setting , to come as close as possible to teaching you live.
