Pour and Play: Colour in Motion
Kids Paint Pouring Workshop | All Ages
Romulus Folio Gallery
As part of Romulus Folio Gallery’s holiday program, Pour and Play: Colour in Motion invited participants of all ages into the gallery for an afternoon of shared making, movement and experimentation. Using fluid paint and guided pouring techniques, children and families explored how colour behaves when released, layered and allowed to move freely across the surface.
The workshop was anchored by a playful sculptural presence, a balloon puppy form, which acted as a point of curiosity and imagination within the space. The sculpture encouraged participants to consider form, scale and character, while the paint pouring process introduced ideas of chance, joy, flow and transformation.
Paint pouring offers an accessible entry point into contemporary art practice. By opening the opportunity to allow paint to move independently of the hand, participants experienced how materials can lead the process, producing unexpected relationships between colour and form. Rather than focusing on fixed outcomes, the session centred on observation, play, response and discovery.
Working together in a gallery setting, participants encountered contemporary art as an active and participatory experience. The combination of sculpture and painting helped demonstrate how ideas and colour can move between mediums and how playful forms can open pathways into deeper creative engagement.
At Romulus Folio Gallery, workshops like Pour and Play: Colour in Motion sit alongside exhibitions and public programs as part of an ongoing commitment to accessibility, audience development and community connection. Through colour, movement and play, the gallery continues to welcome new audiences into contemporary art. By welcoming young participants into a professional gallery environment supported by Greystar at The Gladstone, we support curiosity, connection, and long-term relationships with art and cultural spaces.
