Mixed Media – Something New & Different

Are you looking for something new and different to do with your friends and family?  How about trying mixed media?  Mixed media can take many forms, it is essentially using more than one art medium in your artwork.  At Artistic Experiences, we have just begun offering a series of wonderful new pieces to craft.  We have partnered with Jen DeDonato of Colorfly Studio to bring you some really unique canvas art classes.

Who should try mixed media art?  Well, it’s something everyone can do, but it is especially fun for those who like to create keepsakes.  We have had children and adults create their own masterpieces and each is beautiful and interesting in its own way.  If you are a scrapbooker or into arts and crafts, this is skill you definitely should acquire.  It’s so much fun and a great way to get creative.

Just like our paintings, you can take your artwork with you at the end of the class.  Each of our offerings is unique and has an uplifting message.  The best thing about this type of art is you can’t make mistakes.  Each piece is meant to be unique to the individual who made it.  You can either create it just as shown or you can add your own spin to the piece.  Either way, the piece is unique to you.

Another cool thing, it’s something the whole family can do.  We have had several family reunions (ages 3 to 70+) choose to do this form of art and each individual one is unique, but placed together makes a stunning display.  This is a great way to create unique gifts for special events as well.  Something different for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduation, Weddings & Birthdays – Artistic Experiences!What is mixed media? It’s amazing

We have mixed media classes scheduled for each each weekend this month.  To book your seat in one of our classes, please go to our calendar and sign up.  If you have any questions about the class, please call 832-653-2398.

What is mixed media? It’s amazing

Wanna try something new? You should try creating mixed media art. It’s basically defined as art created using a variety of media. That means using more than one component. So that means, not just paint, not just pencil, not just ink. It means using different things: torn paper, cut paper, painted pages, paint, ink, glue, adhesive, decoupage, texture, fabric, stamps, printed paper, memorabilia, moments, and more.

No, you don’t have to use all those things, but you could if you wanted to. It’s all about pulling the things that speak to you into a form of art that communicates a message or a feeling. This form of art is freeing, there are NO RULES!

Artistic Experiences is offering two classes on paper crafting mixed media this month. Click here for a link to our calendar for more details. This form of art is a great way to preserve special family memories and momentos or to use tickets, brochures, etc. from a vacation or special event. This is especially fun for those who like to get creative, but are looking for a different way to express their art.

Also, keep an eye on our calendar, as we will be adding more mixed media events. Wanna book a private event creating mixed media art? Give us a call at 832-653-2398 or email us at info@artisticexperiences.com.

Cross Your Heart

Let’s get creative . . .

What we do

We put the “Art” in your “party” and help you find the creativity in your soul! Are you looking for a relaxing and fun evening with your friends and your favorite bottle of wine, beer or  nonalcoholic beverage?  Now add to that the joy of painting, creative art journaling and or even mixing it up with mixed media creations! Let our artists walk you and your friends through creating your own creative masterpiece, start to finish, in a two or three hour period. These aren’t art classes, they are ART PARTIES. Uncork the creativity that lives inside you, while sipping your drink (wine, beer, lemonade, soda, etc.), munching on snacks, listening to music and chatting with your friends. You don’t have to be an artist or even have any experience to enjoy the laid back atmosphere. Unlike art instruction elsewhere, there is no commitment beyond one night – though you may love it so much you’ll come back regularly! And best of all, at the end of the night, you get to keep your own original creation!
You bring your own food and drinks, and we’ll provide the rest, including paint, canvas, paintbrushes, and aprons. With regular wine and art parties open to the public and a wide selection of designs, the opportunities are endless. Want to host a private party for your friends, family or co-workers? No problem. We can even come to you, if you choose!

Have a charity for which you would like to hold a fundraiser? Want to hold an office party or team building event? Need a safe

and fun activity for a church or youth group?  Are your relatives gathering for a family reunion? Have a child with an upcoming birthday or need a fun neighborhood activity? Looking for an alternative to traditional bridal showers, baby showers or the average dinner party? Need a fun activity for your book group or red hat club or just about any other get-together? Always wanted to try painting but can’t commit to 6 weeks of classes? This is your solution. To learn more, visit our FAQ page.

Reservations ARE required for all classes/parties, but we do have drop-in open space times as well.  Book a party now in your space or ours! Or view our calendar of events to see which creations are scheduled for which days, then reserve your space online.

Ready to book your wine and paint event or kids party? Simply email us at info@artisticexperiences.com or call us at 832-653-2398.

WAIT!  Not ready to take a class or join a party?  Do you just need to get away and get in touch with your creative side?  Would you like to just drop in and get creative?  Look for our open studio times and just drop on in!  You don’t even have to bring anything, for a minimal fee we have canvas, paper, journals and coloring pages, as well as a variety of different art supplies for you to try out.  Not sure how to use a tool or where to start?  Just ask our staff.  It’s our job to help you find the creativity that lives inside you.
