Main Library

Media Tables

Create abstract, organic art by (carefully) spilling paint. It might get messy.

Acrylic pour painting uses natural forces like gravity and viscosity to create one-of-a-kind works of art. Stripes, cells, tree rings, and more appear as you drench your paper with pre-mixed paint. Wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on.

For grades 4+. Registration required. For more information, contact Jonah at jsmiley@minlib.net.
