Texture is its own visual language — and once you can speak it, flat art starts to feel like it’s missing something.

You don’t need to be “good at art” to make texture wall art that stops people mid-scroll. Whether it’s a design carved into paste that dries hard, or layers of paper and paint building rough edges next to smooth ones, this class teaches you the how.

I’ve been obsessed with texture for years. This class exists so you can experience it for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

Not every piece needs to rely on color to say something. Add texture, and you get art that reads from across the room and rewards someone standing close enough to touch it.

What You’ll Walk Away With

A hands-on Texture Recipe Masterboard — your personal reference guide for every large-scale textured piece you make from now on. You’ll mix your own ultra-flexible DIY chalk paste (about 70% cheaper than store-bought mediums), then test, layer, and build with 8 distinct techniques to create tactile and visual depth.

Note: you’ll leave with a sample board of techniques, not a finished framed piece — think of it as your cheat sheet for every project after this one.

The 12 Techniques

We’ll start with the paste recipe itself, then move through tools, additions, and removal methods — the building blocks of texture. You’ll also get a live demo of the most popular commercial texture products, so you’ll know exactly when DIY beats store-bought, and when it’s worth just buying the tube.

Come ready to get your hands dirty (wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy) and spend a few hours with others who also find blank walls boring. By the end, you’ll have played through all 8 techniques and have a board you’ll actually reach for the next time you’re staring at a canvas wondering where to start.
