Listen in as Melissa Hronkin gives her workshop talk on working with BEE themes in encaustics (from the June 2009 Encaustic Conference). Many images and links are a part of this podcast, and although we weren’t able to get all of the ones mentioned in this podcast, you can view Melissa’s blog for links to view any works we might have missed…

Thanks Melissa for your insight and for being our resident bee expert! :)

Thanks!
