Looking for a fun, creative night out in London? Join Paint-tastic by Ellie at Forked River Brewing, London’s oldest operating craft brewery, with a family-friendly taproom, retail shop, and a craft beer lineup that includes core favourites, seasonal releases, and barrel-aged creations. Guests can enjoy food from Kyle’s Fried Chicken & BBQ, which is physically connected to the taproom, with dining right in the brewery while you paint. When the kitchen is closed, guests are welcome to order in or bring their own food, making it an easy full night out with food, drinks, creativity, and plenty of laughs.

These workshops are not your typical art class. They are social, upbeat, and beginner-friendly, with Ellie guiding the group through a colourful, hands-on painting experience. Her bubbly personality keeps everyone laughing, relaxed, and involved from start to finish.

Acrylic pour painting is all about pouring and moving specially prepared acrylic paints to create bold, abstract, one-of-a-kind artwork. No two pieces ever turn out the same, which is part of the fun.

WE TAKE CARE OF YOUR ARTWORK WHILE IT DRIES!

Acrylic pour paintings need time to dry properly, so we arrange for your artwork to remain safely at the venue for a minimum of 7 days. This means you can relax and enjoy the rest of your evening without worrying about transporting a wet painting home, making a mess in your vehicle, or potentially damaging your car's interior. We take care of your artwork while it dries, so it is ready for you to collect once it has had the time it needs.

ARTWORK PICKUP | 7–14 DAYS AFTER THE EVENT

Your finished masterpiece will be waiting for you at the same venue between 7 and 14 days after your workshop. Please note that Ellie will not be present during artwork pickup. No worries, though! The venue staff are trained to help you locate and retrieve your painting. Simply check in with a staff member when you arrive, and they will assist you with collecting your artwork.

Thank you for allowing your painting the time it needs to dry safely. We can't wait for you to see your one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

CHOOSE YOUR POURING OPTION!

* OPTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

We offer a variety of pouring options depending on your experience, how many times you have painted with Ellie, and what kind of piece you want to create. Whether you are joining for a fun night out and a great memory, or you are ready to create something truly show-stopping, there is an option for you.

10X20 ARTIST CANVAS

Our artist-grade 10×20 canvas offers a smooth gessoed surface for a satin finish. A solid pick for first-time pourers! This is by far our most popular pouring option.

8X10 TRIPLE CANVAS POUR

Create fluid art on smooth, artist-grade canvases—resulting in a satin dried finish, unless Tri-Art Liquid Glass is applied once dried.

With the TRIPLE CANVAS POUR, align three canvases and pour across them at once to create a continuous design that looks striking when hung together.

4PC & 6PC COASTER SET POUR

Includes four 4" ceramic coasters, separate self-adhesive cork backs, and our Tri-Art Liquid Glass Kit to seal after drying.

COASTER OPTIONS INCLUDE OUR TRI-ART LIQUID GLASS FINISHING KIT.

FOOD & DRINKS | FORKED RIVER BREWING · KYLE'S FRIED CHICKEN + BBQ

Forked River Brewing is the perfect spot to enjoy your Acrylic Pour Workshop in a laid-back craft brewery atmosphere. Guests can sip on a rotating selection of fresh, locally brewed craft beers (plus non-alcoholic options) while they paint, socialize, and create.

Food is available on-site from Kyle’s Fried Chicken + BBQ, which operates inside/connected to the Forked River taproom (separate businesses, but you dine right in the brewery).

Kyle’s is all about Texas swagger + Canadian wood fire, serving comfort food that pairs perfectly with craft beer — and they’re known for limited daily quantities (once it’s sold out, it’s sold out).

Workshop guests can expect crave-worthy favourites like:

- Fried chicken sandwiches (including spicy “hot is HOT” options)

- Fried chicken tenders / wings

- BBQ staples like brisket, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and sausages

- Comfort sides and shareables like pickle fries, brisket poutine, cornbread, and more

- Dessert favourites like banana pudding

This pairing makes Forked River Brewing a standout workshop venue: paint + pints + seriously good fried chicken and BBQ, all in one place.
