Art can be a lonely pursuit; the studio a solitary place; and responsibilities to work and family often compete with creative time. Fine Arts Workshop provides classes, individual instruction, studio space, and a range of artist services designed to inspire and support you in developing and strengthening your work.

As artists, the most significant limitations are those we place on ourselves. It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner, a lapsed practitioner, a student, a part-timer, or a professional—what matters is your openness to coming to a deeper understanding of yourself, and a willingness to express that honestly, freely, and courageously.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One of the foremost practitioners of the Encaustic technique today, FAWS founder Michael David brings his more than 30 years of experience to this special weekend of instruction.

Master Classes have been predominately geared for those in the Atelier Program, but interest in the medium has been so great that we are offering this course to the public. This immersive weekend will focus on the contemporary theories and practices of Encaustic; its history and practical use. David will demonstrate large-scale pouring, mixed media, accretion and Photo-Encaustic, but the primary goal of this or any Master Class is devoted to taking your existing work and bringing it to the next level conceptually and technically. For anyone using this expressive and amazing medium this is an invaluable opportunity!
