This class serves both as a primer to the encaustic monotype and as an exploration of the more advanced techniques involved in encaustic mono-printing. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of papers, tools, process and ideas and engage them in varied technical exercises with an emphasis on adapting process to expand and finetune their own unique visual language. Students begin by learning the basics and variables of the encaustic monotype: heat, paint, paper and pressure, then progress to exploring techniques including additive and subtractive process, trace monotype, stenciling and additional advanced methods such as cold composition that explore how to control line, placement, color and saturation while producing repeatable printed images with wax. Students can expect to create a wide variety of prints during this class encompassing a varied range of technical and intuitive process.

David A. Clark teaches encaustic printmaking across the United States and beyond, including classes at Zijdelings in the Netherlands, R & F Handmade Paints, the Palm Springs Art Museum and Idyllwild Arts. His work has attracted national attention for its technical innovation and soulful content and has been shown at OTA Contemporary Santa Fe, the Hunterdon Art Museum, Conrad Wilde Gallery, the Process Museum, the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum and the Palm Springs Art Museum.
