Classes in April

Acrylic Pour Class

Acrylic paint pouring is a technique that allows the painter to apply acrylic paint in puddles, pools, and a series of patterns and colors to form interesting designs.  Acrylic paint pouring is very popular with artists, especially beginners.  In this class, you will try a couple of different techniques and use some tools to create a wonderful, colorful piece of art.  You will get to experience the fun of creativity and know that it does not matter if you make a mess!  The purpose is to find your inner artist. This class is kid-friendly.

Students will be able to make two canvas designs, but they will have to be left at the gallery over the weekend in order to dry properly. Pieces will be available for pick-up Tuesday, April 15th. More canvases will be available for an additional $5.00. The Acrylic paint WILL NOT come out of clothes, and this is a messy medium, so we suggest you wear clothes you do not mind getting stained or bring an apron /paint smock.
