Come and learn how to create eco paints from all natural ingredients! And put them immediately to use as you learn to paint a realistic Tasmanian Devil.

Did you know that know that traditional acrylic paints, while bright and cheery, contain plastics that end up in our waterways? Not just their packaging, but the paints themselves. So whenever we use acrylic paints and rinse our brushes at the end, small plastic particles are going into our waterways.

In Serene's class you'll learn to make your own eco-friendly paints - how to prepare the paints from simple household ingredients. Then you'll be guided step-by step in drawing a Tassie Devil!
No art experience required - just come and have a wonderful time!
