ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
Take the opportunity to visit beautiful Santa Fe, see the spectacular skies, mountains, and over 200 galleries, while you are able to learn, or learn more about, Wax Encaustic Painting with Ellen Koment.

Because these are all small workshops, I am able to give each student a great deal of individual attention, and have found that there is no problem in having students from those beginning in encaustic to those who are more advanced in the same workshop, although there are now also workshops designed for more experienced encaustic artists. All Santa Fe workshops are held in the artist’s studio, near downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico
