Approx. 2 hours
About
Delve into the world of fluid art and Bear (Sculpture) creation. Whether you're an experienced artist or a complete beginner, this workshop is designed to unleash your creativity and foster a sense of playful experimentation.
Our experienced instructors will kick off the workshop with an introduction to fluid art techniques, including pouring, dripping, and swirling paints to create mesmerizing patterns and textures. Participants will learn about different types of fluid mediums, color mixing, and tools used in fluid art.
Now comes the exciting part! Using the skills acquired in the fluid art introduction, participants will apply vibrant colors and patterns to their sculptures. Experiment with different pouring techniques, layering colors, and incorporating various textures to bring your to life in a dynamic and fluid way.
Once the base layer of paint has dried, participants will have the opportunity to add personalized touches and intricate details to their creations. From adding accessories and embellishments to fine-tuning facial expressions, this step allows for individual expression and creativity to shine.
As the workshop draws to a close, participants will gather to showcase their fluid creations. Share insights, experiences, and creative processes with fellow participants while reflecting on the journey of bringing your sculpture to life.
More info
Classes are DIY and are of an interactive nature. We will hold competitions and there will also be some fun games/puzzles with opportunities to win gifts, vouchers and have loads of fun along the way.
Changes to your selection of sculpture can be made on the day to another sculpture of the same size (Reg/Larg).
Kids under the age of 10 have to be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is joining the class as well. Guardians can have a canvas option if preferred over a statue.
