The finished piece can serve as home décor, a candle base, a coffee bar detail, a plant perch, a serving platform, or a standalone statement for your space. No experience is required and all supplies are provided. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming... great for a night out with friends, a creative reset, or anyone curious about fluid art techniques. Because pour painting requires extended drying and sealing, projects stay at the studio after class and will be ready for pickup in about a week. Cost: $46.
