    Review of Northwest Encaustic, October 22, 2009

    This class was really fun and relaxed. I think Shaun Doll did a fantastic job of explaining both technique and the history of encaustics. It was really fun to have full reign of the studio and the massive amount of supplies!

    Review of Northwest Encaustic, October 20, 2009

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning about Encaustic. Shaun is an energetic teacher and his enthusiasm is contagious. I felt welcome to use anything in the facility, and his knowledge base is incredible. This class is for anyone. All you have to do is go in and play. I want to do more. I am hooked on encastic.
