Celebrate your favorite artists and their favorite drinks on Thursday, July 11 at Social House's very first Paint and Sip workshop. This workshop, taught by Lori Auger, will be centered around the work of artist, Jackson Pollock.
This is a fun, free hand, painting event where participants of all levels are encouraged to use their own style and flair to recreate some of these famous paintings in history. Of course, if you wish, you are also welcome to recreate the painting exactly as the artist rendered it. There are no strict rules here.
The paint and sip will take place on July 11 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. startin with a meet and greet over cocktails and light snacks. One of Jackson Pollock’s favorite drinks included whiskey, therefore we will be serving whiskey this evening. Whether you take yours neat, on the rocks, or with a mixer, all options will be available.
After the meet and greet, we will briefly discuss the life of Jackson Pollock and will go over some of the techniques that he used to create his paintings. We will then begin to use some of these techniques to recreate his painting “Sea Change”, which he painted in 1947, while listening to 1940’s/50’s Jazz, which was Pollock’s favorite kind of music.
Jackson Pollock was widely known for creating large scale splatter paintings, and Lori has a special surprise in store, on how the class will be recreating a large scale Pollock style painting together, where everyone still gets to take a small version home.
Cost for the event is $55. This includes 2 whiskey drinks (with or without mixers), water, light snacks, canvas, paint and brushes.
