THE STUDIO

SPLAT — an experiential action art studio

SPLAT frames the session as an experience as much as a finished painting: the studio’s format encourages improvisation, risk-taking, and group play in a dedicated creative space in South Pasadena.

THE PROCESS

Splatter painting as experimentation

Over the course of the hour participants are invited to try any technique they like — splattering, flicking, layering — with an emphasis on discovery rather than rules or a prescribed outcome.

THE RESULT

Hands-on, take-home canvas

Each participant works on a 16x20 inch canvas using supplied paints, brushes, and tools; protective gear is provided so the focus stays on creativity and having fun.
