BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We’re excited to unveil the 2025 Summer Catalog, showcasing an exceptional lineup of workshops and instructors! This year, we’re offering 190 workshops throughout spring, summer, and fall, including a fantastic range of encaustic workshops before and after the conference. We’re also thrilled to announce that the 18th International Encaustic Conference will be held at Edgewood Farm for the first time ever! Esperanza Cortés will be our keynote speaker, and we’ve got many exciting new plans in store. There’s still time to register—don’t miss out on this incredible event, happening May 30, 31, and June 1! We are honored to welcome back Jongkuk Lee from South Korea for another workshop, and we’re equally excited to introduce new instructors: Jabu Nala, a Master Zulu Potter from South Africa; Sati Zech from Germany; Bettina Egli Sennhauser from Switzerland; and Isabelle Gaborit from Ireland. Joining this diverse group of talented artists is Amanda Ménage from France, who will lead a one-of-a-kind workshop on fragrance and perfume. Additionally, we’re pleased to announce a special workshop with Theo Jansen’s StrandBeast, where his son Zach Danson will help us construct one of these famous creatures at Edgewood Farm. Afterward, it will take a stroll on the beach before heading back to the Netherlands! We’re also bringing back some much-loved favorites, including Judy Pfaff, Cynthia Packard, Vicky Tomayko, Ed Johnetta Miller, Paul Bowen, Ann Hood, Anne Bernays, Carol Pelletier, and many more! We are thrilled to have Adam Moss as this year’s Woody English Distinguished Artist & Writers Chair. Moss, the author of the fascinating book The Work of Art, explores how something comes from nothing. As artists, we are all captivated by the process of creation—whether it’s writing, sculpting, or making a book. Join us for his lecture and panel discussion on July 29th at Edgewood Farm. In these challenging times, we believe that making objects, writing an essay, creating a play, welding, making a clay pot, or working in encaustic can help uplift the spirit. We aim to bring community to Cape Cod, and we hope you’ll join us in lifting our spirits together!

In Peace,
