About

Acrylic pouring is a fascinating way to make abstract art. Pour liquid acrylic paint onto a surface and tilt it gently, making the paint flow into a completely unique abstract design. You can choose your own colours and embellishments, and a Christmas theme is available at the November class. 

You'll decorate an item of your choice using this technique. Choose one of the following items:

  • Set of 4 coasters
  • A single placemat
  • A serving or chopping board
  • A wall clock.

This class is led by Rebekah of Redeemed Arts who has a passion for upcycling and acrylic pouring. Rebekah will guide you through the process, in which you'll make a beautiful, functional set of artworks.

If making coasters or placemats, you'll have the option to embellish using acetate images. If making the serving board or clock, you'll have the option to add 3D embellishments using seaglass and shells.

The results of this technique are surprising and unique every time, allowing anyone to be an artist. Your coasters will be left to dry after the workshop, and Rebekah will resin seal them ready for you to collect from the gallery approximately three weeks later. The resulting pieces will be heat resistant to 90°c and suitable for everyday use.
