The Pour Parlour
Welcome to The Pour Parlour, where anyone can create picture perfect paintings.
I’m Lisa McKay, the owner and operator of the Parlour. I don’t have a formal education in art and found my passion later in life. Who knew that this magical art form was going to transform my life?
Acrylic pour painting is an easily accessible art form with a wide range of results achievable. Many of the techniques upcycle materials from around the home. Other styles use substances such as treadmill oil, dimethicone hair products and one hundred per cent silicone lubricant to create different effects.

- Flip cup
