Now taking registrations for my Encaustic and Fiber Arts 2-day workshop, the first in my new studio! July 26/27. You can sign up on my workshops page.
You can see some of my latest works through the summer at The Gallery, 100 Market St, Portsmouth NH.
Really encouraged to read this comment in April newsletter of Loving Mixed Media - "To say Emma Ashby's encaustic works are anything but extraordinary would be an understatement. Bursting with life and vitality her works practically grow off the surface in a multicoloured explosion of colour, vibrancy and texture. The depth and almost 'eatability' of some of her creations is a real feast for the eye".
You can view some of my latest encaustics in a virtual gallery. Click here.
