About this Event
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
In this creative, beginner-friendly workshop, students will bring a concrete plate to life with vibrant floral designs. Each participant will receive a handmade concrete plate, pre-crafted by the instructor, and be guided through the process of painting a flower-inspired scene using acrylic paints.
To make the experience approachable for all skill levels, floral outlines will be lightly sketched onto the plates in advance. Students will then explore layering techniques, color mixing, and brushwork to transform their sketches into beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces.
By the end of the session, students will leave with a functional and decorative floral plate that can be used as a fruit tray, jewelry dish, or thoughtful handmade gift. This class combines guided instruction with creative freedom, making it a perfect introduction to both painting and the charm of concrete design.
