Teen Holiday Club - Worcester Park

Discover the joy of acrylic pouring and create this amazing beach scene, combined with Powertex. 

A hands on fun workshop- the results are unique every time!!

You will be taken through the process step by step and will leave with your very own beautiful piece of artwork! Powertex is a unique product for mixed media and will be used to create the 'beach' whilst the acrylic pour will create the 'sea'.
During this workshop you will learn;

Mixing paint for acrylic pours
Different  pouring techniques
Introduction to Powertex

All materials will be provided.
Please don't wear your best clothes! This can be a rather messy workshop!
The paint does take 24 hrs to dry- it is best to leave at the studio to collect at a later date. If you are travelling by car the piece can be taken on the day- we do not recommend trying to take home on publoc transport!
