This wonderful workshop offers a chance for children aged 8 and up to take part in a specialist craft activity, all under the guidance of an expert craft tutor. It’s a perfect opportunity to learn new skills together and enjoy quality time as a family. 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. (Your children will teach you how to fly with these concepts!) 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! Acrylic pouring is suitable for anybody from the age of 8 upward. (NB: all adults and children will do the craft together. Therefore you will be expected to be with your child at all times.)
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, having fun with your family and socialising with other families and a keen interest in being creative.”
