On Sunday, November 18, we had a fascinating demonstration of the encaustic painting process by our very own WAA board member, Francesca Azarra.

Francesca is well known both as an artist and as an educator, and both traits can across powerfully in this 2-hour demonstration of the history, tools, supplies, and techniques of the medium.

Perhaps, though, the take-away for the 26 event attendees at South Avenue Arts was the endless experimentation and flexibility that the medium permits.

To find out more about Francesca, and to see video from this demonstration, please visit Francesca’s website, Instagram, and Youtube.

Join Westfield’s own Francesca Azzara in the studio as she demonstrates her mastery of the encaustic process, working with hot beeswax and colored pigments.

When: Sunday, November 18th, 2018, from 1 to 3 pm.
Where: South Avenue Arts
221 South Ave
Garwood, NJ 07027

If you would like to learn more about Francesca, you can visit her website.

Hope to see you all there.
