Ontario Encaustic Workshops
Andrea has been teaching creative workshops for the past twenty years, since her graduation from the Ontario College of Art & Design. She became intrigued with encaustic in 2001, after taking a workshop at OCAD and then another intensive workshop at the R&F Encaustic School in New York state in 2004.

 About Us |
Andrea loves to teach this wonderful medium, as students enjoy the process of working with wax so much! There is such a sense of spontaneity in the class or workshop, and she is happy to be a part of such creativity. Often she will travel for teaching, and you can approach her if you would like to see an encaustic workshop for your local art group or guild. References are available upon request.
