Paint Pouring aka: Fluid Art or Acrylic Pouring is a method of painting where acrylic paint is mixed with a pouring medium such as water, glue, or gloss medium to create a fluid like consistency (to help the paint ‘flow’). The mix is then poured onto a canvas, object or other surface and manipulated using various tools and techniques to create unique designs and patterns. Do you love Halloween as much as I do? Do you love creating Halloween crafts as much as I do? Then join us for this spooktacular event! A fun and creative evening is planned with two paint pouring activities plus a game to wrap up the festivities, ( HINT - The second activity involves a decorative pumpkin and GLOW IN DARK PAINT!).
