Workshop Description

DECEMBER 7-8
Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 – 4:30 pm
Fee: $350 (includes $35 material fee)

This workshop combines the directness and immediacy of the monotype with the richness and luminosity of encaustic painting. Drawing with pigmented wax, students will create one-of-a-kind prints by ‘pulling’ their painted image directly from a heated plate—no printing press required! Encaustic monotype lends itself to natural and spontaneous mark making, allowing for extensive creative exploration. Additional techniques including stenciling, stamping and blocking will be explored the ‘encaustic’ way. Demos and discussions will include paper possibilities, wax recipes, basic studio set-up, etc. Whether used as a primary body of work or combined with mixed media, collage or book arts, encaustic monotype offers endless possibilities for today’s artist. Ample time for hands-on work will be provided. No prior experience in encaustic painting or printmaking is necessary for this workshop. Prior workshop registrants are welcome.
