Getting Started...

I love teaching and sharing my knowledge and experiences of working with wax. I currently teach private and semi private workshops in my studio by appointment or as part an ongoing monthly schedule. Additionally, I teach workshops for larger groups (10-15) at different venues- My 2011 schedule is listed in the side column with direct links. At the end of my workshop descriptions, you will find photos from my past workshop...have a look!

If you are interested in a private/semi private session in my studio, please contact me: cari@carihernandez.com
