Branch Slap Painting at LK Art Bucket Rice Lake WI

SPLATTER, SLAP (BRANCH) & PENDULUM SWINGING ART

Let go of perfection and step into something completely different.

In this space, art isn’t about staying inside the lines—it’s about movement, energy, and a little bit of mess. Using swinging pendulums, branch “slap” techniques, and free-flowing paint, you’ll create bold, one-of-a-kind pieces that are as fun to make as they are to take home.

No experience needed—just a willingness to try something new.

The Splatter Room Experience

Our splatter room is designed for messy, expressive creativity. Throw paint, drip it, swing it, or experiment with different techniques to see what happens. It’s perfect for individuals, date nights, families, or anyone looking to break out of the ordinary.

While it’s known for wild, high-energy fun, the space can also be used for more controlled splatter-style projects like pendulum art, layered backgrounds, or abstract designs—whatever fits your creative mood.

What to Expect:

Pendulum painting (mesmerizing, flowing designs)
Branch slap painting (organic, textured effects)
Splatter & drip techniques
Bold, abstract, one-of-a-kind results
A fun, slightly messy experience you won’t forget

Helpful Notes:

Aprons and basic protection are provided, but this is a hands-on, messy experience—dress accordingly and lean into the fun.

Disclaimer: Please note that the splatter room can be stimulating, with movement, sound, and paint activity that may be overwhelming for some individuals depending on the project. A liability waiver is required before creating art in the splatter room.
