SUMMARY:Paint Pour for the Domestic Abuse Resource Center
DESCRIPTION:Join Blepta Studios in Calmar upstairs in the studio for a relaxing evening pouring fluid paint to create abstract designs. Cost is $30 and includes all materials and instruction. Half of all proceeds will be donated to the Domestic Abuse Resource Center. We will do a 4×4 tile and an 8×10 canvas. Aprons will be provided – but it can be messy so don’t wear your favorite clothes! These paintings will take a few days to dry – so you can pick them up the following week during open business hours. Or you can wait a month and have them varnished and ready for you. \nRegister: https://pivoblepta.square.site/product/paint-pour-to-benefit-helping-services-of-northeast-iowa/1818?cs=true&cst=custom
