For this workshop, you have the option to receive a yearlong subscription to QB online. Upon registration, the survey provided will provide information about this opportunity. This is a live online class using ZOOM. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey included in your automated receipt so the instructor can tailor the course to meet your needs.

Pour painting, also known as fluid art, is an abstract art technique that involves pouring liquid paint onto a canvas to create a painting. The paint's fluid consistency allows it to spread and move freely, creating organic shapes. 

Bring your paint clothes, an apron, and prepare to get messy. You will leave with your own uniqe piece of modern art on canvas that can be displayed in your home. 

All materials will be provided by the instructor.
