The Art of Paint Pouring

Adults

Artist Patrice Simpson will show you how to create beautiful acrylic fluid art in this hands-on program. Registration required. Sponsored by the Friends of the Berea Library.

Experience the fun of pouring paints, a wonderfully unique method of applying paint to canvas and other material. In this hands-on program, artist Patrice Simpson will teach you a little about color mixing and show you a variety of tools & techniques you will then use to create your own compositions - flowing spectrums of waves, shapes, colors, and textures. All supplies are included. Painting is good, messy fun— so dress accordingly. Registration required.

Patrice Simpson is a member of the Berea Fine Arts Club as well as an instructor.

About the branch

Opened in 1924, the Berea Branch was the third branch to join the Cuyahoga County Public Library system. It was initially housed in City Hall from 1924-1939 and then a small storefront in 1957 before moving to a standalone building. The branch is located adjacent to beautiful Coe Lake Park.
