Encaustic Arts Magazine Spring 2012 | Page 43

I spent 3 more days in Joe’s studio doing demos while he shot the
step-outs.
Unlike Encaustic With a Textile Sensibility, which features the work of
23 artists, all the artwork in The Encaustic Studio is mine. The entire
process took one year, and consumed me in a new and different
way. I was lucky to have this wonderful team of professionals to do
all the things they do best. So many people have contributed their
skills and talent to this beautiful book, which Interweave is distributing,
marketing and selling. How did they do it-the cover even feels waxy!

What’s on my horizon now? Lots more teaching at Wax Works West,
for R and F, and returning to teach in Australia and Europe. A new
eBook about boats, and a memoir entitled Skinny Legs!
