Rather wondering what the point is of a 3 second video... I honestly saw nothing of you building encaustic layers - the whole thing was a blur!

Can you use a different substrate, like wood for instance.

Good refresher for me! Thanks for sharing your talents... Irene

Thank you for sharing your lovely ritual. I was also raised Roman Catholic as a child, and have found so many influences entering into my art practice as well. I still credit my fascination as a child with the reflected colors of the stained glass windows changing throughout Sunday morning mass, as helping to develop my eye and obsession with color, I feel ritual can add a special nuanced layer to one’s art practice. As always Elise, I find how you create so inspiring!

Thank you for sharing this Elise☀️

What was the instrument used at the beginning to create the lines? I’m guessing it’s from batik?

Very cool!

Thank you so much for sharing! Signs and symbols are my favorite!!!

Wow, very cool! I stumbled upon your video when I was looking for different things I can with wax! Thank you!

Love it! How many prints can you get from such a plate? And...is it just pure beeswax what you apply to the plate? Or something added to allow taking more than one print, like plaster or stonepowder? Do you mix the Akua-ink (waterbased) with wax?

What a warm and inviting space. I hope to visit some day.

Please tell us about your etching press and any suggestions you have for purchasing one without totally breaking the bank. Enjoyed your video. Thx much, best regards, E

It is fascinatin to watch this kind of art expression. It is beautiful abstract. Subbed your channel, #309. I do landscapes in oil. KIndly sub back too. Thanks.

Thanks Elise - this may be a helpful way for me to bridge that really tricky gap between my literal and figurative work into the abstract.

Inspirational and just what I've been seeking thank you ... How do we get you to Townsville, Queensland, Australia? ;-)

I ordered a $40 snowboard one but it is great to know you can use the ones with holes...for when this one that’s on the way gives out! Thank you!!

I guess you are using a dry iron Elise? no steam holes?

Ohhh I'm excited.... tried collagraphing using found materials on my local beach (it's kinda post industrial so we find a great mixture of flotsam and jetsam that can be gathered) we also have a wonderful array/mixture of geology from rocks brought into the local harbour as ballast for the collier ships that shipped coal out from the Durham coast all over the world) I have been desperately looking for a way to combine all these inspirations with my recent discovery of encaustic painting... and this may well be it! Thank yo so much for sharing your process...

Elise that was so interesting! Thanks for the video... Irene

Thanks so much, Elise! I find your videos so very helpful...

Love the paradox. Beautiful.

Looks great! Very thought provoking. I love how you melded your subject matter with your techniques

Beautiful piece! Great idea. TFS

Awesome, when can you come to Shoreline in CT????????? I live in Branford and your work really impacted me.

Elise, I am intrigued by this process. Watching this I have decided to learn about collagraph monotypes at a local art school. But I will need to be taught how to do it with encaustic wax. Do you plan on-line workshops? Or do you plan to travel to Italy or any other place in Europe during September/October 2016? Or to Australia?

<3 this so much

Hi Elise...great vid and thanks for sharing....quick question...what did you put on your collagraph plate to create those shapes?

Thanks for explaining. It's lovely work.

Hi June, The hot wax was previously applied to the plates I am printing from in the video but not part of the video itself.

Is this encaustic? Which is the hot wax?

Edith, Thank you very much! It was great meeting you too! Since I am uncertain my schedule will allow for me to attend the conference again this year, I am teaching March 9 & 10 at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT. The show was in Boston just after the conference and I will be having an extended version of the same show's theme "Opposing Cartographies | West" at Butters Gallery in Portland in July 2014. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi Elise, Just loved your video. It was so nice meeting you at the conference and hope to see you up there again next year and hopefully take your workshop. Good luck with your work for the show. This piece was wonderful! Best regards, Edith

No the wax does not transfer to the paper.

Does any of the wax transfer to the paper?

Great video....I enjoyed the class, learning how to use encaustic for monotype. A truely amazing process and extremely fast...my kind of printmaking! Thanks so much Barbara
