A paint pouring art class will help you keep it eco-friendly

If you’re a passionate plant parent looking for eco-friendly art classes, Manchester is the place to be! Led by craft maven Chelsie Southern, you’ll spend a fun afternoon exploring the world of resin art and learning how to pour your way to plant pot success. She’ll teach you the tricks behind choosing the perfect colours, mixing and marbling techniques and how to achieve that perfect finish. At the end of the art workshop you’ll take home not one, but two resin design plant pots that will brighten up any space and make the perfect home for your perennials!
