Testimonials
Quotes from Martha's students:

Martha is a welcoming, kind hostess who is knowledgeable and passionate about her subject. I had no prior experience with encaustics and Martha quickly informed me about the basics, then she gave me room to explore on my own. She is a very good teacher who is interested in her student’s enjoyment of the material. I particularly liked how well structured her class is and I appreciated her generosity. I recommend taking this class, especially if you are a beginner in the medium.
-Brigitte

​Great experience I learn so much. My mother in law thats a artist love the class. It is a hands on experience that you’ll love. It opened tons of ways to express my photos in a way that I didn’t knew it existed.
-Raul

​This was such a fun class! I didn’t know what to expect, and it was great. There are lots of different techniques to play with and many options for layering - each piece can be so different from others as well as from what you think you’ll get when you start out!”

Martha is very kind, patient and understanding. I really enjoyed the class as it was really chill. You can also bring home an artwork at the end of the class.

Martha’s welcoming, knowledgeable, and shared her love of art and the medium of encaustic with us! We had a great time as we learned!
