About this Event
Using high-flow acrylics, you’ll explore dripping, tilting, layering, and blending paint in a relaxed, low-pressure way. There’s no plan to follow and no “right” outcome — just curiosity, movement, and letting the materials lead.
We’ll start with a quick grounding moment, then jump into hands-on play with the paints. You’re free to follow your impulses, try something new, change your mind halfway through, or simply enjoy watching the colors move and mix.
This class is:
• Beginner-friendly (no art experience needed)
• Lighthearted and exploratory
• Focused on fun, flow, and creative freedom
• A great way to unwind without overthinking
You’ll leave with one or more finished paintings and the experience of giving yourself permission to play.
All materials are provided — just come ready to experiment and have a good time.
About the teacher:
Cat Thomas, MAT is an Artist & Expressive Arts Facilitator based out of Chattanooga, TN.
15 years ago, Cat intuitively began using art and writing as a therapeutic tool in her personal life. Once she experienced the true potential art has to heal the mind, body & spirit, Cat enrolled in the Expressive Arts Florida Institute in Sarasota, FL. After taking a weekend long intensive there, she knew her purpose was not only to create her own art, but to increase individual and community health & wellness by using the arts as a tool for healing, personal growth & self-discovery.
Since finishing her training in 2015, Cat has worked with 1000’s of people helping them connect with their creative selves so they may gain the therapeutic benefits of doing something creative. From working as an Artist in Residence at cancer center for close to 10 years to partnering with a local community to create a collaborative neighborhood street mural, Cat enjoys working with a variety of populations, and truly believes that when given the opportunity to create in a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space people can transform their lives from the inside out.
