This is your last chance to join Kathleen Kvern at Dillman's this September.

Encaustic painting is a process of building, layering, and discovering what happens along the way. Working with heated wax and pigment, artists can explore texture, collage, and other techniques as each layer opens new creative possibilities.

From September 9–13, Kathleen will guide participants through an immersive, hands-on exploration of this ancient and versatile medium.

If this is a workshop you've been considering, we invite you to take a closer look and reserve your place today at https://www.dillmans.com/workshops/intuitive-encaustic-painting/
