“Seeing everyone’s pieces come together was my favourite part. It was such a treat to see how everyone interpreted the experience and how each participant’s personality came through in their art. I felt like I had a lot of direction but also freedom to create something that was uniquely mine. The custom frame that you get to take home was an excellent addition.”

“I had a beautiful day yesterday, like tonic for the pandemic soul. It started with a walk and forage at Honey Pie Hives and Herbals, with a cup of tea and a chat about the wonders of crystalized honey. And then a session filled with play as we made encaustic collages at the new Melt Studio + Gallery with encaustic artist Susan Wallis. It was magic. This is a new experience that Susan and Bay Woodyard and Tamara Segal are offering this summer and it’s aptly named PAUSE.”
Regina Quinn, Encaustic Artist & Instructor, Catskills Mountains
“Wow! What a wonderful experience! The world would be a much better place if more people paused, connected to the natural world and created beauty through that connection.”

“I loved slowing down, being immersed in nature, learning about things that I walk past every day in my own lawn and how I can incorporate them into my life. I took home my own piece of art and so much more!”
