Enliven your Practice
Fabulous Roland hotboxes and DVDPAULA ROLAND'S WORKSHOPS are a catalyst for exciting and unique possibilities in encaustic. Those who work with her have been able to enliven and free-up their art, identify goals, and add fresh ideas to their studio practice.
THE ENCAUSTIC MONOTYPE is an innovative, freeing process and a painterly approach to printmaking. Encaustic (pigmented wax) is used in stick-form to draw upon a heated metal plate (we use the specially designed Roland HOTbox™). The wax melts instantly and may be further manipulated with brushes or tools. The molten image is transferred from plate to paper by absorption and gentle hand pressure (no press!). Works may be over-printed, combined with other media, collaged, over-painted with encaustic, and much more. Encaustic prints are easy to handle, transport, and store. Classes consist of freeing exercises and clear demos interspersed with ample time to work. Paula presents a wealth of technical and aesthetic information, including ways to frame prints or display free-hanging works on paper. Additional unique classes in encaustic painting, carbon media, (graphite, ink, etc. + wax), mark-making, and intermediate/advanced levels encaustic monotype and painting are offered. TESTIMONIALS

Paula Roland pioneered the Encaustic Monotype and brought the process to awareness and popularity. Since 1996, Roland has specialized in the teaching of encaustic monotype printing, encaustic painting, warmed wax drawing and other unique techniques, many of which were delveloped by her. Freeing and fun, encaustic prints may be primary works or a secondary body of work on paper.They combine with mixed media and are ready material for collage, book arts and fiber arts. Beginning and advanced artists will find a wealth of information about the basics of encaustic and printing with wax. This DVD includes Paula Roland’s inspiring encaustic monotypes used in cut-paper installations and back-lit translucent prints with unique presentation ideas. Roland’s Zen approach, both stimulating and meditative, has led hundreds to develop new freedom, creativity, and a unique voice in their work.

Paula Roland provides an exploratory workshop using carbon-based art materials including graphite, India ink and mixed media. Paula has used forms of graphite and various media in her work since the 1980’s. Here she builds on this experience in a class previously taught only at the International Encaustic Conference 2015-16. The workshop consists of encaustic painting, drawing, and encaustic monotype, individually, or freely combined and layered. Through up-close demos and hands-on experience, we will experiment with direct application of graphite powder and stick, liquefied powdered graphite used as paint, and graphite mixed with wax for encaustic monotype and painting. Experiments in fusing with heat lamps and other devices will reveal special effects.
Additional techniques include stencils, ink migration, transferred graphite images, and meaningful mark-making with alternative tools. In this experimental workshop you are encouraged to be inventive and develop outside-the-box thinking! Discussions will address artists using carbon, and carbon’s historical and environmental implications, thus providing a context for your experiments and inspiring ways to incorporate this work in your studio practice. Register soon! This class fills quickly!
