The Paint Engine : Inside Art Space @ North Perth Common
Event description
Our popular acrylic pouring workshop is back, this time in the North Perth Common.
In this class, we look at the art-making techniques of artist Holton Rower. We construct geometric towers using wood and pour a psychedelic rainbow.
Let's get messy!
The Paint Engine will run outdoors at The North Perth Common. The traffic will be blocked off and shade will be provided.
There will be two classes running, 4-7-year-olds at 2:30 - 3:30 pm and 8 - 11-year-olds at 3:30 - 4:30 pm.
This event is supported by the City of Vincent.
