In-Store DEMO - Free!

Non-Toxic Natural Varnishes & Fixatives
Friday, November 28, 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Registration is NOT required for this event!

Tired of using smelly toxic sprays? Join Author-Illustrator & Fine Artist Hajra Meeks at Lenz Arts to learn all about SpectraFix's natural casein product line, that is usable indoors with no toxic fumes, and is archival with a clear, non-tacky, layerable finish. It has diverse uses--it's a medium, varnish, fixative, decoupage or mounting adhesive, and more! It's available in thinner, sprayable formulas (SpectraFix's Degas Fixative or FinalFix), as well as thicker, brushable formulas like Natural Glass.

After this event at Lenz Arts, you can hop over to the Community Day at the Santa Cruz Art League at 3PM to make fun decoupage holiday art cards using Strathmore greeting cards, decorative collage materials, and SpectraFix. All necessary art supplies (project inspo, blank cards, decorative paper, SpectraFix FinalFix, etc.) will be provided for free, just bring yourself!
