Maker's bio

Hi, I am passionate about encaustic wax as I hope you can tell from the reviews by previous students. Being able to pass on my knowledge and little tricks of the trade is a real pleasure. I have been painting all my life, but ‘found’ encaustic whilst studying as a mature student at Art College. I was hooked! I am a member of the International Encaustic Artists organisation (IEA) and a prize winner for my encaustic work. My workshops are always fun. We pack a lot in, but the time just flies!

Naomi Eales reviewed: Bespoke Photo-encaustic workshop

"I had such a wonderful day yesterday with Lyn learning all about using encaustic. Lyn was superb at answering questions quickly prior to our meet up and I felt as if I already knew her before arriving. Lyn was very welcoming and was ready to get going. It was really helpful that Lyn had prepared some notes for me to take away. This enabled me to start learning straight away. Lyn explained things really well and I was soon into my creative bubble. I enjoyed the fact that the session was 1 to 1 as it enabled me to ask any questions easily. The pace was perfect and Lyn was able to easily assist when I was going a bit awry. I felt so pleased with myself when, at the end of the day, I came away with my 3 bits of art. I really felt as if I had spent a really fun day with a friend. I would totally recommend this course with Lyn for anyone thinking about giving it a go. Thank you Lyn for such an amazing day."

"What a lovely review. Thank you so much for your company and creativity. I really enjoy doing 1-1 or 1-2 workshops in the studio. It’s pretty intense, but so rewarding finding out what type of art my students are inspired by, and doing my best to respond to that. You have produced 3 lovely pieces, using differing techniques. Ready now to take it further. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need any advice or a gentle reminder on how to do it! All the best Lyn "

Sheila Jennings-Giles reviewed: Bespoke Contemporary Fine Art Encaustic Wax Workshop.

"Had a brilliant day with Lyn learning about encaustic wax art techniques. Lyn is a lovely lady and very skilled at her subject. She explains, guides and helps you very gently with developing your creation during the day. Came home with a super piece of art work."

Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop responded:

"You had a vision Sheila, which I helped you to realise, whilst showing you the techniques to get there. I am as chuffed with the results as you obviously are. Well done. Don’t forget to ‘buff’ the surface with a v soft cloth, avoiding the jewel areas. Lovely to meet you. Thank you for spending your CC voucher with me! Lyn "

Els reviewed: Bespoke Contemporary Fine Art Encaustic Wax Workshop.

"I have had a wonderful course. Two days of learning how and what about encaustic painting. I love the way Lynn thinks about teaching. She asked how I want to learn and then she helped me to develop my skills. Everybody who knows encaustic a bit come a lot further in skills. Thanks Lynn for these wonderful two days! Els beemer Delft, the Netherlands."

Contemporary Encaustic Wax Workshop responded:

"Dear Els, thank you so much for travelling to spend time with me to develop your skills with encaustic wax. You have produced some lovely pieces of work, and I hope you will continue your journey and find your voice. It’s such a special medium, invoking so many emotions. Safe journey home at the end of the week Lyn "
