Student Testimonials

“I can’t say enough about my class with Shannon! It exceeded my expectations in every way. I left inspired, excited, and feeling capable of beginning my encaustic journey at home. Shannon is an exceptional teacher who helps you with the big picture and fine details. From techniques and tricks, to tools and resources, Shannon openly shares in an approachable manner. I didn’t want my time to end - which is the ultimate sign of an excellent course. I can’t wait to go back!”

“My sister, mother and I had the most wonderful time taking a workshop with Shannon learning encaustic. We’re complete amateurs, and Shannon made the day super fun - from learning the techniques all the way through to bringing home our pieces. Encaustic is such a gorgeous medium, but certainly not something you could just pick up on your own with a video class at home - being hands on in the studio made all the difference. It was such a lovely way to spend a day together, and we can’t wait to go back again!” - Eryn

"This class was great in all respects. It was well organized, the instruction was perfect for the amount of time. We had an abundance of materials to try out so any idea was possible. Shannon was very flexible and open to allow participants ideas to direct more instruction beyond the initial basics. The space was inspiring and wonderful. And, the group size was great, allowing everyone ample tools and space to work. Thank you, Shannon. I loved it and I love encaustic!" - Susan 

“I took a workshop from Shannon and it was the best experience ever. We spent two hours doing five different techniques with the encaustic process with my own photographs. She provided an amazing amount of information. I think the best part was actually working in her studio with her and to see how she does the process as well. She does each step with you. I cannot wait to do another session with her and to use more of the techniques with my artwork" - Marianna 

"Being a complete novice, this technique felt very approachable the way Shannon explained and coached when inquiries were made. Leaving with a finished product was definitely enjoyable, making me think about taking another workshop now that I have a better grasp of what it entails." - Summer

"This was a very well organized and informative class. On top of that, it was fun!! I am looking forward to another class!!" - Leeana
