Sculptural Floral Painting craft workshop in Montgomery County, Md.

Learn to paint a sculptural floral piece in this innovative class by local artist Julie Gross. You will learn how to use pastry bags and piping tips to paint flowers on a surface, and will finish the artwork by creating a vase of flowers.

You will receive two small wood panels (4-inch and 6-inch sizes) as paint surfaces. During the workshop you will have access to a variety of piping tips and paints to explore this process.

All materials are provided, including:

• Variety of piping tips (similar to what is used to pipe icing on a cake)
• Pastry bags
• Heavy body acrylic paint

• Palette knives
• Palette paper
• Fine-line applicators to add detail

Julie will demonstrate techniques every step of the way until each crafter has created a beautiful, textured bouquet.

These paintings will need to dry overnight. Participants are welcome to take their paintings home (boxes will be provided), or leave them for later pickup.

This workshop is open to crafters 14 and older.
