Received a lovely testimonial today - Dawn Brimicombe's encaustic workshop is currently a unique opportunity in the UK to learn about wax as a creative medium in contemporary art practice.  Dawn is very generous, competent and communicative artist.  Thanks to her input and her teaching, I have gained in just one day the confidence and the knowledge to set up my basic encaustic studio.

I wholeheartedly commend this one day full immersion course to any artist curious or interested in working in the alchemical wax medium.

I greatly enjoyed the workshop - I can't wait to continue to explore the infinite possibilities encaustic offers to capture different atmospheres.

Thank you Alvaro, it was a pleasure meeting you and being able to teach you the various techniques which can be incorporated with encaustic wax.

It was lovely to meet Stuart Burch who joined me on one of my workshops last year - here are some of the kinds words he sent to me -

"For anyone who is considering encaustic I would highly recommend attending one of Dawn's classes but be warned Dawn's enthusiasm is infectious and not only will you leave knowing much more about the craft but with also a head full of creative ideas to explore!"

If you would like to learn how to use hot molten wax with your photographs then please get in touch, [email protected], learn how to combine your images using image transfer and many other methods using an ancient technique.  

Join me again in the New Year 2015 for Encaustic Painting Workshops and Mixed Media painting, don't forget I will be taking workshops at Exeter Phoenix starting in January 2015, please contact Exeter Phoenix to book your place.

I have been receiving some very kind testimonials from my last workshops - thank you to everyone who has joined me to learn Encaustic Painting, both teachers, artists and complete beginners, it has been a pleasure. 

"Dawn was an inspiring teacher, so generous with her time, knowledge and materials.I made a big mess in her workshop and she didn't even bat an eyelid!.  I had a wonderful time during my stay in Devon.  Dawn made me feel very welcome and I learnt a great deal, she shared her invaluable knowledge, a must for anyone interested in Encaustic Work.  I would highly recommend a trip to see Dawn, she's a lovely women.  A long drive but it was worth every minute, Thanks Dawn"
