I really never knew what Wabi Sabi art sytle was nor have I used cold wax. I was impressed with its look. Serena uses ooil pastels, dried tea tea bags etc. Very familiar with ecaustics, but she has a few things to teach me. Good class.

I had never heard of this technique before and can't wait to explore it. Serena has done an amazing job of explaining her techniques and gives us a wealth of information.

excellent-this was four workshops in one-only video I've seen that teaches you how to use the cold wax technique. I highly recommend Serena!
