ACRYLIC FLUID ART
Also known as “paint pouring” or “flow art”. Fluid art is a form of abstract art that uses acrylic paints, which are then diluted with various substances to change the viscosity of the paint.
This creates a more fluid-like consistency, hence the name “fluid art”! The acrylic paints react with each other when combined to make interesting and visually organic motifs. This type of art is fun for ages 5+! (Under 5 are welcome to participate, but typically need much more assistance.)
RESIN ART
Epoxy resins come in two parts: resin and hardener. The two parts must be mixed in a precise ratio to allow for proper curing. The finished product dries with a glass-like finish.
In resin art, rich colored pigments are added to cups of the mixed resin and subsequently applied to a wood canvas. Glass, glitter, rocks, alcohol inks, and other materials can also be added to the artwork prior to the curing process.
(We would like to note that it is not uncommon for people to develop an allergy to epoxy resin, especially if the wet resin comes in direct contact with the skin. A rash (contact dermatitis) can develop. Typically, hydrocortisone cream will clear up any resin related rash. Must be 18+ to work with resin.
