The Encaustic Monotype is an innovative, contemporary process and a painterly approach to printmaking. This process is experimental, freeing, and has been used successfully with a range of imagery and styles. The encaustic monotype combines the ancient painting medium of encaustic with the popular monotype process. Encaustic sticks (beeswax and pigment in solid form) are used to draw on a heated metal plate. The wax melts instantly and is manipulated with brushes and other tools. Absorbent paper is laid on the plate, the back is rubbed, and the image is transferred to the paper by hand.

History of The Open Studio LLC Workshops
Founded in 1996, The Open Studio LLC merges Paula Roland’s creative expression and teaching philosophies. Paula recognized the potential of encaustic printmaking as an art form and as a tool for the creative process. Inspired by encaustic monotype methods developed by Dorothy Furlong Gardner, an artist-friend from New Orleans, Roland, after extensive research and experimentation, developed a curriculum that extends and contemporizes the process. Paula Roland provides the only known classes devoted to encaustic printmaking and other encaustic-on-paper techniques. Hundreds of artists from the U.S. and abroad have found the workshops to be inspiring, freeing and relevant.
Paula has taught her
workshops at other locations, including a Master Class in Printmaking for the
International Encaustic Artists Association (formerly WCEA, West Coast
Encaustic Artists), at the prestigious Santa Fe Art Institute, the Georgia
O’Keeffe Museum, the Santa Fe Children’s
