In a Santa Monica studio bathed in ultraviolet light, the Glow Pour Party turns fluid paint into incandescent fields of color. Over a focused 90-minute session, participants work with curated neon pigments and a suite of pour tools—guided by studio staff or left to riotous experimentation—to produce solo 16x20" canvases alongside a single 24x30" collaborative piece.

THE TECHNIQUE

Action painting that glows

The workshop applies action-painting methods—swirls, layers, blows and pours—using a palette of neon colors chosen specifically to pop under blacklight, producing kinetic, glowing abstractions.

THE TOOLS

All pour gear and protective wear supplied

Each guest receives a 16x20" canvas and the session includes silicone rings and cylinders for cell effects, single and multi-color pour cups, straws, spatulas and brushes—plus full-body protective suits, gloves, shoe covers and hair caps; goggles are available on request.

THE COLLECTIVE

Solo expression and one shared canvas

Groups collaborate on a single 24x30" group canvas that glows under the UV rig while also producing individual works—an experience built for celebrations, team bonding or a vividly different night out.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

The Glow Pour Party compresses the gestures of action painting into a tight, hands-on workshop: after check-in and gearing up, neon paints are poured, tilted and coaxed into luminous patterns beneath blacklight as staff circulate to demonstrate techniques or step aside so groups can experiment.
