Looking for more creative date night ideas? Reinvent the color wheel with this art class in Walnut Creek for a fun and productive evening together.
Your teacher Melissa Stephens will show you an artistic activity that generates a lot of heat and color. Her 2-hour Encaustic Monotype introduction class is an exciting and easy class that you can do with your sweetie.
Have fun learning how to print designs and patterns using a hot plate and colored wax paint. Encaustic paint is a combination of beeswax, resin and colored pigment. Your teacher will take you step-by-step, and your results will be amazing!
After the lesson, guests will toast each other and their masterpieces with chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne. Anyone looking for date night ideas in the Bay Area will appreciate this creative class for couples. Quality time together strengthens your (he)art.

Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, I received my BA from Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, and continue my arts education though workshops and specialized instruction. Currently living in Walnut Creek, CA, I am an encaustic painting instructor, working artist and advocate for the arts. In 2020, I co-developed a virtual gallery and developed a YouTube channel called The Encaustic Edge. I also started a business coaching artists, at all levels in their careers. I serve on several art boards, volunteer at galleries in the San Francisco Bay area, and host live and virtual encaustic demonstrations.
Encaustic is an ancient artform that originates with the Greeks and Egyptians. Layers of molten beeswax and a blow torch are my idea of a good time!
Through the years, I have discovered how fulfilling it is to teach the art I love to make. It is my pleasure to feed people’s creative appetites, give them new knowledge and share ideas. My artwork has been exhibited in Turkey, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota, Washington, New York, and California, and I have collectors around the globe.
