Do you fancy making homemade Christmas Presents for special people in your life? If yes, this could be just the workshop for you! Go home with 2 unique, beautiful canvases to give away or keep for yourself!
Your tutor, Paola, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “The workshop will cover a few pouring techniques so you can familiarise yourself with this expressive painting technique. There will be guidance, support and, most importantly, much encouragement to move beyond the “white canvas” block and the “don’t make a mess” fear. I will also give you advice and suggestions about the choice and combination of colours to encourage you to get started.
The pouring technique is an empowering, effective self-expression medium with endless possibilities that doesn’t require any previous painting experience, just an open mind and a willingness to learn it while having fun!
I will bring a hair dryer because it is a very useful tool to demonstrate an additional style/technique to create unique fluid art. I will also bring wooden skewers to use as “pencils” to draw patterns on the wet paint.
Aluminium trays will be provided to carry home your finished, but still wet painting. (Please bear in mind, the painting will need about three days to fully dry and you need to take it away flat).
By the end of the workshop you will have gained much in terms of learning, wellbeing, self-confidence, socialising with other like-minded crafters and a keen interest in being creative.”
£40 + 86p card booking fee. This includes: canvas, good quality acrylic paints, plastic cups, plastic spoons, skewers, gloves and protective plastic for your clothes, wipes and refreshments (excluding lunch). We will be providing drinks and biscuits throughout the morning.
