Encaustic Monotype

Encaustic Monotype is a contemporary medium combining the ancient art of encaustic painting with the general concept of monotype.
The technique was originated in the early 1980’s when artist, Dorothy Furlong Gardner “wanted to combine the directness and immediacy of the monotype with the richness and luminosity of encaustic painting”.
In this workshop we will be making prints by applying coloured waxes to a heated surface. These designs will then be transferred to paper by applying gentle pressure with a hand held baren or a brayer.
