NEW 2-Day Silkscreen & Encaustic Mono-Printing Workshop

Take your monoprinting practice to the next level with this immersive two-day workshop blending silkscreen techniques with advanced encaustic monoprinting. You’ll silkscreen your own prints, then transform your prints through encaustic layering, color, texture, and composition. Expect to leave with a small series of dynamic, multi-layered prints that reflect your personal style.

Optional, bring any tools or specialty papers you’d like to experiment with.

• Demonstration of coating, exposing, and washing out a silkscreen
• Why a second exposure matters and how it strengthens your image
• How to tape, apply separators, and properly work with a silkscreen
• Access to 6 pre-burned silkscreens to use and share
• Techniques for modifying a silkscreen to create variations and layered effects
• Practice prints on test papers
• Final silkscreen printing on Rives Lightweight paper to prepare for Day Two encaustic work

Note: If you pop a silkscreen, there is a $50 replacement fee—once popped, a screen can't be repaired.

Using a heated encaustic hot-box and a range of encaustic tools, you’ll explore:

• Techniques and tools for applying encaustic color
• Layering strategies, composition approaches, and how to add depth
• Developing a series of prints, starting with your practice paper prints and then moving to your silkscreened Rives Lightweight prints

Ideal for students who have completed an introductory encaustic class or have basic experience with encaustic monoprinting. This Level 2 workshop balances skill-building with creative exploration—no pressure, just a supportive space to expand your practice.
