Spend some time in your studio & connect
with fellow encaustic artists!
Dedicate some painting time for yourself while hanging out with other artists via Zoom
Do you ever feel like you're alone in your studio, creating in solitude? What if you could share that time with others—without leaving your work space? IEA is hosting a virtual event for members only.
Stay for the full 2 hours or pop in for a quick hello. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a newbie, all are welcome! This isn’t a class or demo—just a chance to hang out in your studio and paint while enjoying our vibrant, creative community from wherever you are. It’s intended to be a relaxed, shared time. Save the date for our next session. Looking forward to seeing you in your studio!
