In the nineteenth century, canvas floor cloths were once used to protect wooden floors in a hallway, under a dining table, or even under a chamber pot. We will learn from these historical designs and use acrylic paints to create a smaller piece. Choose from projects like a table runner, a table mat, or even a portable checkerboard. 

A limited palette of paint colors will be available, but you are welcome to bring more to expand your creativity. Information will be provided for finishing your piece at home, after your paint has fully dried.  

This class is for individuals ages 14+. Anyone under the age of 16 must register with an adult.
