Making Together: Flow Painting

About this event

Explore the expressive possibilities of color and movement in this collaborative parent-and-child workshop inspired by the vibrant abstract paintings of Sam Gilliam. Working together, participants will experiment with watered-down paint and inks, folding, pouring, and manipulating canvas to create abstract paintings full of rich color and flowing shapes. Making Together offers families an opportunity to come together and create. Register now to enjoy a day full of art-making fun with your child!
