From one of our happy students: ‘I just spent the most wonderful day taking an encaustic class with Bridget Benson. She is a phenomenal teacher, very clear in her instructions both showing, explaining and giving me written notes. After each demonstration I was given a chance to practice what I learned. She was encouraging and positive. She had every type of supply available to me. I can't believe how much I learned in one glorious day. I can't wait to come back. Thank you’ - Joy from California
