Celtic ConVergence Wax Across the Water October 12 - 17, 2023 Pre-Retreat Workshops: Wednesday and Thursday, October 11-12 Post-Retreat Workshops: Tuesday and Wednesday, October 17-18 Our rst IEA ConVergence retreat in the spring of 2022 on the coast of California was a remarkable event for those who attended. We experienced deep community, explored revolutionary ideas in our art form, and generally rejoiced in being together in person at the end of the land and the edge of the water. At the end of the retreat, Lora Murphy suggested we gather again in 2023, but this time on another coast – the wild, remote coast of Western Ireland. It was our rst international encaustic retreat, and it featured demos, presentations, and workshops by instructors from all over the world. Regina B. Quinn, President of International Encaustic Artists, was asked to sum up the experience in three words. She chose community, celebration, and magical. We also asked our three scholarship recipients to share their favorite moments, the top tips and tricks they learned, and what impact attending the retreat had or will have on their art practices.
