The Batavia Society of Artists will have a demonstration by an artist from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at GoArt!, located at 201 E. Main St.

The artist is Linda Metcalf, known by many for her vibrant work in watercolors. This time however, she will be demonstrating and displaying some of her work in "wax encaustics."

Wax encaustic art work dates back to 800 B.C. To explain this art form briefly, the word encaustic means to “burn in” and the technique uses pigmented beeswax.

The event is open to the public. Cost is $3 for nonmembers.
