About this Event

Spend part of your Mother's Day weekend doing something a little different at The Art Foundry. This portrait session is a lighthearted, creative way to celebrate together — whether you're coming with your mom, an adult child, or a good friend. Working with acrylics, you'll complete an original portrait from start to finish with friendly instruction that keeps things fun and accessible. No previous experience needed — just a willingness to give it a go and laugh along the way. Leave with a finished portrait and a great story to tell.


Format: Single session (2 hours)

Skill Level: No experience required—complete beginners welcome
