Event Information

Explore a diverse and remarkable combination of textural acrylic grounds, pastes and gels. Discover the unique qualities each product offers in its natural state, plus a range of techniques that can be used to manipulate the surface. Experiment with paint on each of these surfaces, extended with water, or mixed with various mediums. The same technique appears very different with each new product. The potential of each is infinite!

You will create samples of each product, process & technique; each detail will be documented, creating a reference that will prove to be an invaluable resource for all future projects.
