A wax encaustic monoprint is made by melting pigmented wax on a hot metal plate. While the wax is in its liquid state you draw and manipulate the wax with silicone tools and other elements to create patterns and designs. You then press a piece of paper on top of the wax and pull it off creating a one of a kind work of art. Although it is a printing process, as the name implies it it a singular original work not part of a series.
