Make your encaustic monotypes sing! Experimental and fun! Grow your practice with new skills and techniques taught nowhere else.

From Paulas 30 year practice of teaching encaustic and monotype, she knows that most artists who take a monotype class know only a few approaches to the process. They become frustrated -- it's like singing a one note song. In her courses she shares the experimental approaches that have led her to create numerous bodies of work in this process.
