Texture Painting Tuesday this evening was so nice, I’m so happy to share my tools and heavy texture paint to help fellow makers make some art with lots of dimension and feeling!
Anyone can feel free to view what we made next to the windows in Classroom 3. Our creations will be drying there for the next few days and will be picked up within a week or so. It’s extremely important for these to dry all the way through to retain their shape wholly, so be sure NO TOUCHING of other people’s artwork.
For anyone interested when this is happening again, my tentative plan is to do another Texture Painting Tuesday on the last week of Oct, so I will get the official event up on the calendar soon.
I’m extremely grateful for the participation in my recent workshops, you guys rock! I’ll have more wax sealing time for ya on Wednesday this week. Thanks so much for the kindness and creative camaraderie <3

Not for a couple days, but eventually, so I might as well ask ya, would you suggest any other empty space that would be best for drying fragile pieces after a workshop like this? If you prefer another area in a different classroom after a couple of days when there are meetings, I can absolutely relocate them and notify my participants. There is still a lot of space on the shelves there, but I do understand the presence of art projects can clutter up the organized room a bit anyway.

@jaelear Could you post some pictures of the Texture Paintings? I’m not really sure what they are, and I don’t get a chance to get up to MakeICT very often. Thanks.
Those are really cool. Looks like you can do lots of different things with it. Does the paint have to be on a solid, stable surface or can it be on something bendy, like fabric? Thanks for posting the pic.
Super versatile! This is Gaffrey Art Materials Heavy Texture Acrylic Paint and I bet it would work well on some fabrics. Similar to how Puffy Paint works on clothes, it stays slightly rubbery and will dry into the surface you put it on. I could foresee some issues with drying shrinkage warping, dense placement inflexibility, or odd stretching fibers, but I haven’t yet experimented with raw canvas or scrap fabrics even. I like that idea lots, worth a try sometime!
