without any formal instruction using all of our equipment and supplies
($40 for up to 6 hours, $20 for up to 3 hours).

Ways
you might enjoy assisted workdays:

texture, transfers and using wood burning tools and sealing irons. It's
your chance to ask all kinds of questions about process and materials.
2 - Bring in pieces you
have been working on and need help with so we can suggest areas to
develop and go step by step through processes to bring the piece to
fruition.
3 - Bring an idea
or look through our books for ideas and inspiration and we will assist
you by recommending and working through techniques to create your
vision.

| Announcing PAULA ROLAND'S THREE-DAY ENCAUSTIC MONOTYPE WORKSHOP Friday November 2nd, Saturday November 3rd and Sunday November 4th 10:00 to 4:00 each day    The cost is $595.00 which includes
the supply fee covering many special papers and R&F bars of wax
paint. Paula will be bringing a HOTbox
for each participant to work on!
We are so very fortunate, proud and honored to have Paula Roland right here at The Encaustic Center! This is such a wonderful and exciting opportunity to learn from the master of the enacaustic monotype process! Instructor Paula Roland began teaching encaustic in
1997, after many years as a professor of painting and drawing in
universities and colleges. The spontaneous medium of encaustic, with
its infinite possibilities, provided a new focus for her art and
teaching. Many of the encaustic printmaking techniques were developed
by Paula. Paula leads participants through a myriad of choices and
options. She is the catalyst for exciting new possibilities in
encaustic and her teaching provides the knowledge, skills, and
confidence to continue after the workshop.
Paula has been an invited program participant at The National Encaustic Painting Conference 2007-2010. She has exhibited throughout the US and in Europe. Her works are included in many books and articles on encaustic and experimental printmaking. "Watching
Paula work her magic on the hot box over several days is a chance to
observe a wax poet in motion. She is an expert at what she does. Her
knowledge of different substrates and ways to present work is immense.
She pushes the boundaries of encaustic viscosity and you have to see it
in person to fully comprehend it. After taking her workshop, I left
feeling like a whole new world of exploration opened up for me."
