Time, space and dedicated guidance to explore your practice.
There is something special about having the time and space to explore your work, follow your curiosity and see where the process takes you.
I invite you to join me in my studio in Auvergne, in the Puy-de-Dôme region of central France, nestled among mountains and rolling countryside. Surrounded by this beautiful landscape, we’ll slow down, experiment, work through creative challenges and discover new possibilities in your practice.
Whether you want to deepen your understanding of encaustic, explore new techniques, work through a creative block or find fresh direction in your work, our time together is shaped around you, your interests and your artistic journey.
With dedicated guidance, plenty of room to experiment and all encaustic materials provided, you can settle into the studio and immerse yourself in the process.
One artist, one studio, and time devoted entirely to your work.
One-to-One Mentoring
These sessions are designed around your individual practice, experience and creative direction. We can focus on specific techniques, explore new approaches to the medium, experiment with materials or take the time to follow an idea wherever it leads.
Whether you’re just beginning with encaustic or have an established practice you want to develop further, the day is yours to explore.
