Meaning-Full Art

Welcome to Meaning-Full Art! My name is Patty Middlebrooks, Optimistic Artist, Marbler, and Business Owner. I took my first marbling class 26 years ago and fell in love with this magical art form. I specialize in marbling on silk but will attempt to marble on just about anything! Meaning-Full Art has most recently been featured on Good Morning America, ABC 7 NEWS, ABC Localish, BuzzFeed BringMe, Fox News, Good Day LA, LA Voyager Magazine and VacationIdea Magazine. We are l...isted in the "Top Best Things to Do in San Pedro California" by Dream Vacation Magazine. If your are looking for something fun, different and creative to do with friends or family, look no further! Meaning-Full Art is an exciting place to gather for unique creative art experiences. Every class I teach is intentionally designed for an amazing outcome regardless of your artistic ability. I’ll teach, coach and cheer you on every step of the way until your work of art is complete and you LOVE what you’ve created. You’ll leave Meaning-Full Art feeling like an accomplished artist with a masterpiece you’re proud of - I promise! I offer classes in our marbling studio located at "Crafted Port LA" - SoCal's premier arts and crafts experience center and market place. I also have the pleasure of teaching water marbling at El Camino Community College. You can checkout our class schedule and make reservations online at www.meaning-fullart.com/book-a-class. Permission granted to let go, unleash your joy and spread your creative wings!
