VIEW ART PROJECT OPTIONS & COSTS
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST BEFORE MAKING YOUR SELECTION:
Art parties can be custom-designed based on your interests, or you can click on a project in the rows below to view projects I offer, as well as the COSTS involved. I work closely with you in making sure to meet your budget while finding a project that is suitable and enjoyable for everyone, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me to discuss more. Remember to scroll down to the FORM to fill out all the necessary information, and we'll begin the process of designing and booking your art party!
CUSTOM DESIGN your own art party
If you're looking to design your own art project special to your child's (or an adult's) occasion -- perhaps a birthday party, or a celebration to finish memorization of the Quran, getting ready for Ramadan / Eid, Mother's Day, or simply a lovely get together for your friends and family -- describe it as best as you can, and think about what your loved ones love to do (i.e., painting, crafting, drawing, etc.)!

The cost for custom design classes is anywhere from $25 - $45 / participant depending on the complexity and materials involved in the art project. For a party of 10 people, the cost is approximately around $300, with $25 additional cost per person after that. This includes ALL materials, instructions, aprons to wear during class, and boxes to take art work home in. COSTS will be finalized once project is determined.

FLUID ART PAINTING $35-40/participant
Book a Fluid Art Painting class for yourself, your friends, staff, class, or your kids, and experience the joy and release from one of the most delightful ways of making beautiful art! You'll feel freshly inspired and discover the beauty of the creative process in results that are whimsical, colorful and simply addictive -- you'll keep wanting to do more and more pours! Come with an open mind and get ready to be courageous and have fun connecting with others in the process.

I'll lead you step by step through the process of pouring a fluid art work of art in our class, beginning with a brief discussion of how to make pouring paint, which mixing mediums to use, what tools to use, how to choose colors and layer them in your cup, followed by how to pour the paint using a choice of techniques in order to make the paint flow across your canvas in inspiring ways. 

All materials will be supplied in class including canvases, pouring paint, cups, gloves, pans, and other tools. Participants should come dressed in comfortable clothes and/or wear an apron. Class content & demonstrations will be modified to make it suitable for the selected age group. PLEASE NOTE that fluid art paintings need 2 days of drying time before being ready to touch, or be hung up. 

CLASS OPTIONS:
1) Fluid painting on (1) 11x14 inch canvas: $35/participant; 45 min. - 1 hr. total length of class
2) Fluid painting on (2) 8x10 inch canvases: $40/participant; 1 hr. - 1.5 hrs. total length of class
​
EBRU MARBLING ART $35-$40/participant
In this class, you will experience a combination of marble painting on a fluid surface, relaxation, and creativity through an introduction to the traditional Islamic art form of "Ebru," most popular in Turkey. "Ebru" means marbling patterns on paper, and it is the art of floating and designing water-based paints on a fluid, and then transferring the design onto paper. In our class, I lead participants through the stone marbling pattern technique, as well as the "Gel-git" pattern technique, and a combination of these techniques can then be further explored by participants on their own, with time permitting.

CLASS OPTIONS:
1) Ebru Marble Painting on (3) 7x10 inch prints: $35/participant; 1-1.5 hrs. total length of class
2) Ebru Marble Painting on 9x12 inch prints, limitless amount:: $40/participant; 1.5 - 2.0 hrs total length of class

Please note that other options can be custom-made for you in order to help meet your budget. Scroll down to the form, fill it out and send me a message! Thank you.

LOCATION: Art parties can be hosted at any residence, community center or other location, as long as there is enough space and tables to work on, as well as access to water for cleanup.

“My children and I had the pleasure of attending one of Nadia's Fluid Art classes and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I personally love to do art projects with my kids on the weekends and I learned a great deal about techniques and processes from Nadia that I know I can take back with me for future projects. Nadia was super passionate about art and just an overall wonderful human being. I would love to go back and take more classes with her in the future. I highly recommend the class; at the very least you will have fun and a good experience. Take the whole gang!” ~ H.Ali
