If you feel called to create artwork that feels alive—rich with movement, texture, and natural beauty—Bloom & Wax is your next creative step.

This two hour online course is designed for artists who want to infuse their encaustic practice with the quiet poetry of botanicals. Through guided instruction, you'll learn how to thoughtfully embed dried flowers, leaves, and plant matter into layers of wax, while exploring composition, translucency, and color. Bloom & Wax invites you to slow down, connect with natural materials, and paint from a place of intuition and wonder.
