R&F Abroad: 2024 International Workshops
Looking to combine travel and education this year? A workshop abroad offers the opportunity to soak up new sights, enjoy different food, and meet fellow artists. There is something special about removing oneself from the familiar and carving time away from work and responsibilities in order to focus exclusively on learning.
Our team of R&F Core and Artist Instructors has you covered with workshops everywhere from Mexico to Ireland. Who are R&F's Core and Artist Instructors, you ask? These are teachers across the country and internationally we work with to provide the highest quality of information about our encaustic and Pigment Stick product lines.
Check out the line up below and plan your next artist vacation.
