A new workshop gives artists an opportunity to employ a unique technique and create stunning modern resin work.
“It looks like melted stained glass,” said Doug Chapman, curator at 4Cats Cochrane. “It’s just something different.”
4Cats art studio locations across the country have introduced a liquid vitreous medium that spreads and blends to make colourful abstract pieces.
Cochrane’s location on Bow Ridge Road has two upcoming “Ice Ice Baby” workshops – one for children and another for adults – beginning this week for those who want to pour and play with the innovative material.
“We’re the only place that uses it,” Chapman said, adding the material is constantly tilted and moved before it dries to create a one-of-a-kind pattern. “It’s pretty new to me as well.”
The winter-themed two-class mini sessions start today at 7 p.m. for adults, and tomorrow at 4 p.m. for kids. The second one-hour session takes place at the same times next Thursday and Friday, Nov. 10 and 11.
