    Event description

    Encaustic Demonstration and Q&A Session
    with Sharon De Valentin 

    Saturday 18 February, 2023

    11:30am - 1:30pm at Griffith Regional Art Gallery 

    The process of making Encaustic Medium from beeswax, damar resin and dry pigment is an art form in itself, a kind of alchemy that leaves room for experimentation and creative expression. Sharon De Valentin has been mastering this artform for some years now and has a wealth of knowledge to share. Join us at the gallery for a fascinating demonstration by Sharon and a question and answer session to follow. A light morning tea will be provided. 

    Sharon De Valentin
    Sharon De Valentin is an Encaustic Artist from the Riverina region of New South Wales. She creates unique, heirloom paintings and sculptures using locally sourced beeswax, damar resin, colour pigment and fire. Sharon has a natural and sustainable approach which fits in with her philosophy that every part of this labour intensive, time consuming, extraordinary process, is part of the artwork itself.
