Robin's teaching style:

Each week she introduces a new technique using the encaustic medium. Students learn by hands-on experiences, exploring mixed media encaustic painting and finding what technique works best for their individual interests.

Robin loves EAC because . . .

It provides a safe, un-intimidating environment allowing students to open themselves up to the learning process. The classes are small and providing individual attention is always a priority.
