Create soak-stain paintings in the style of Helen Frankenthaler.

Helen Frankenthaler was an American Abstract Expressionist painter best known for her “soak stain” paintings, which she created by diluting her paint and soaking it into unprimed canvas. Like Jackson Pollock, Frankenthaler didn’t use brushes, but rather poured her paint onto the canvas and used sponges to move it around. The result was a calming field of liquid-like color. Learn about Helen Frankenthaler and create your own calming soak stain paintings.

Ticket includes art history lesson and all art materials (including an 11x14 inch canvas). Coveralls/ smocks will be provided to protect your clothing.

For this event, we will also be welcoming our friends at Women of Culture, a community designed to connect, empower and inspire women through engagement with the arts.
