ONLINE Classes at Pocosin 2026

Class Ad

I will be teaching a 3 session mason stain workshop through Pocosin Online Workshops. focused on my beloved mason stain painting techniques. It is offered through @pocosinarts on Zoom. The class runs January 14, 21, 28 of 2026. I have been teaching in person classes in Irvine, California since 2017, and I ran this “Eyes and Faces” class through my local students last spring to help refine the lessons and work through process hiccups that are inevitably uncovered by having a nice mix of students in varying experience levels. This workshop (and my experience) is kiln based enameling, so kiln access is required for my methods and results. This workshop is perfect for people who say, “I can’t draw or paint!” My eye tutorial will walk you through every step of the way, you will be amazed at your results. www.pocosinarts.com
