Moving to Italy

Moving to Italy!


So excited to finally do this and move to Italy to fulfill my dream to start up an Art and Cultural Center at what will be my new property in the Umbrian countryside this spring, 2023. You can see my property in the real estate listing HERE!


There I will be hosting visiting artists and their art workshops, and I’ll be teaching workshops in beeswax encaustic, fused glass, cooking classes and more. 


My financing is through the sale of my home in Everett.  Unfortunately because the real estate market in the US has changed and home values are now less than they were a year ago, my house has lost value and I have come up short for funding the project.  


Because of this, I need to ask for support through crowdfunding via FundRazr.com to complete the sale.  I am still working out the details, and will be sharing more information about it. There will be ways you can help me, by sharing my crowdfunding fund raiser with people, and perhaps with a donation, small or large together they help me towards my goal!


I will be offering fundraising Rewards at different donation levels as my way of thanking my supporters, including a drawing for a free, 3 nights stay at my property in Italy!  Stay tuned for details!


I’d like to invite you to follow along my journey, adventures and endeavors via:

  Last few classes being taught in the USA as  Deborah is moving to Italy in June! * Cultivate your creativity by doing something fun & creative this spring! Deborah Stachowic's   Beeswax Encaustic classes are fun for both beginners (even those who don’t think of themselves as artistic - you don't need to draw!) and the experienced artist who’d love to be introduced to this exciting medium!   In her classes, Deborah teaches you how to work with  beeswax encaustics  (click to learn what beeswax encaustic is), she provides all the special equipment, and how to create beautiful pieces with the hot beeswax by collaging materials with the colored waxes. Working with the wax is an enjoyable creative process and it is through that process and experimentation that the magic happens, and the fun! Here's what a past student has said: "This is some of the most fun I’ve had playing, learning and creating in a long time! 😀" -Reese Find out what it's like the first e

Deborah’s classes focus more on the process of creative play and combining papers with assorted objects and fusing them with hot beeswax into m
