Join Ellie at the Sip N' Pour Workshop at Brothers Brewing in Guelph for an unforgettable artistic experience. Explore a variety of colors, techniques, and tools to create a truly unique piece of art. During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to experiment with different options, each offering its own benefits. For beginners, the 10X20 artist canvas is a great choice, providing a higher gloss finish and a gessoed surface. Another option is the 8X10 artist canvas pour, which allows you to choose between a single, double, or triple panel pour. This method creates a stunning flowing design when all three canvases are poured simultaneously. If you prefer a different material, the 10X20 birch panel pour offers high-quality artist-grade birch panels, cradled on a 3/4 frame, perfect for hanging. Alternatively, you can opt for the 4-piece coaster set pour, which includes blank ceramic coasters and a Liquitex High Gloss Varnish kit to add a glossy sealer. Starting in December 2023, round and hexagon shapes will be available for the coasters. Lastly, you can unleash your creativity by creating a fully functional clock with the 10-inch round Apollon-Gotrick artist-grade birch panel. A take-home kit with clock mechanism, arms, and numbers is provided for easy assembly. Choose between black or gold clock parts at the event. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind workshop that promises to ignite your artistic passion. Reserve your spot now for the Sip N' Pour Workshop at Brothers Brewing!
