Her layered approach—rich with wax, pigment, texture, and instinct—creates surfaces that feel both ancient and immediate. In this intimate class setting, she invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and explore what lies beneath the surface — of the material, the process, and yourself.
Guests will learn the fundamentals of working safely with wax and heat while creating their own small-format encaustic artwork. Throughout the evening, curated wine pairings will complement the creative process, making this a relaxed and memorable night in Port Royal.
No prior art experience is necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
This workshop continues the creative momentum sparked by our recent Blacksmith Workshop and is part of an expanding lineup of monthly classes and hands-on experiences at The Shed, presented by Windhorse in collaboration with Perrin Woodworking.
What’s Included• All encaustic materials and tools• Step-by-step guided instruction• One finished encaustic artwork to take home• Curated wine pairings during class• An intimate gallery setting with limited seating
Class Details• Duration: 2 hours• Location: Windhorse Gallery at The Shed, Port Royal, SC• Level: Beginner (no experience required)• Registration: Advance sign-up required

Nature Writing: Kayak on the Chechessee and Write about It, with Katherine Tandy Brown

RSVP Required. Click the orange “Book a Program” button on our website to sign up!portroyalsoundfoundation.org
We who live in the South Carolina Lowcountry are fortunate to be surrounded by its extraordinary nature – the marsh and its seasons, live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, 180 degrees of ever-changing sky, marsh and shore birds, crabs and dolphins and fish, the bright sunshine that lights this southern world, and of course, water…the ocean and rivers and their tides. In this workshop you’ll kayak on the Chechessee River with guides from the Maritime Center for a morning immersion in Carolina’s nature at its finest.
Then – like Henry David Thoreau on Walden Pond – you’ll take pen to paper and write about any part of the adventure you choose. Anyone at any level of writing, from rank beginner to pretty darn good, can write using a method called writing practice, developed by writing workshop guru Natalie Goldberg and presented in her classic book, Writing Down the Bones. You’ll learn how to get rid of the self-critic so that your thoughts flow freely onto the page. And you’ll leave with a chunk of nature writing and a memory of time well spent.
Dress for a journey on the water, and be sure to bring sunscreen, a water bottle, notebook or journal, and several pens.
Katherine Tandy Brown has explored the world as a freelance travel writer for 20-plus years. She has taught memoir writing, travel writing, writing practice, et al, in the USCB’s OLLI Continuing Ed program, Tech College of the Lowcountry, Pat Conroy Literary Center, Palm Key and Thera Vista Retreat Centers, her downtown Beaufort cottage…and nature writing on a sandbar in the Beaufort River, her favorite classroom so far!

This engaging lecture will uncover how scientists study these iconic predators and the innovative conservation efforts working to protect them and our ocean ecosystems.
About the speaker:Dr. Megan Winton, Senior Scientist, Atlantic White Shark ConservancyAs an aspiring shark scientist growing up in northeast Florida, Megan thought she would have to travel across the globe, or at the very least the United States, if she ever wanted to study great white sharks. She had no idea they were swimming right past her every winter during the course of their southern migration. Now the Senior Scientist at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, a Cape Cod, Massachusetts, based nonprofit, she is leading efforts to study the species along the east coast, including the southeast, which represents the new frontier for great white research in the Atlantic. Her research uses a combination of cutting-edge technologies and creative approaches to study the movements, behavior, and impacts of human activities on great whites and other shark species. In her talk, she’ll discuss how recent scientific advances are shedding light on the secret lives of sharks and transforming people’s perceptions of this iconic species.
Our lecture series allows you to learn from the experts. With a wide range of topics from Lowcountry wildlife and history to best practices for your home and garden, there’s truly something for everyone!
