Plastercraft Painting Experience
An experience by: Little Shop of Crafts
About this experience
Step into a world of imagination and color with Little Shop’s Plastercraft Painting Experience — New York’s largest craft house! Choose from hundreds of whimsical designs: princesses, unicorns, mermaids, dinosaurs, cars, aliens, dragons, rainbows, and more. Whether you’re five or fifty-five, there’s something here for every creative spirit.
You’ll paint your own plaster piece and learn to bring it to life with special finishing touches like antiquing, finger waxing, and other “secret” techniques that make each creation one-of-a-kind. Once complete, your masterpiece is sealed and ready to take home instantly — no waiting, just pure creative satisfaction.
Perfect for birthday parties, office events, family gatherings, or creative team outings, this experience brings out the artist in everyone.
