Safe Dating: It is crucial to be cautious when setting up in-person dates or meetings. 1. Don't set up dates too quickly It's normal to chat and have some back and forth before deciding if a date is in the cards. If the person wants to meet you immediately that is a RED FLAG. 2. Meet up in a public place for the first time It's a wise decision to choose a busy public location for your first date. Meet at a pub, coffee shop, restaurant, and/or busy park. This allows a secure setting for both of you. 3. Always arrange your transportation for the initial date Always meet your date in a public place. Never, ever let them pick you up or drop you off on your first few dates. Even if they offer to pick you up or drop you off, say "no thanks" until you trust them! Remember the old saying stranger DANGER. 4. Tell someone you trust that you have a date Never go on a date/meet-up without telling someone. This should always be your no. 1 safety rule when meeting people for the first time. Let a friend or family member know that they should expect to hear from you at a certain time. You can also let them know where you're going on the date. It’s also a smart idea to have a ‘safe word’ or ‘safe phrase’, to use, just in case you need to make a quick exit. 5. Think before exchanging numbers Do not forget that you are under no need to share phone numbers if you feel uncomfortable. It’s OK to schedule dates and converse only through a safe app until you feel ready to give out your phone number. Always take your time when disclosing contact information since your privacy is crucial. 6. ALWAYS Trust your instincts If you sense any discomfort or uneasy vibes while conversing, or planning a date in person, don't hesitate to leave immediately and exit the situation. Your well-being always comes first, and it's perfectly fine to step away if something doesn't feel right. Let your friend or family member know Information Source: Crazy4Events | eventbrite

Paint pouring, or fluid art, has unlimited techniques and variations to create unique abstract art. The string pull technique results in some wispy tendrils that are delicate and bold at the same time. In this advanced techniques workshop you will learn the string pull technique and create your own unique work of art. Previous paint pouring experience is not mandatory to attend this workshop. But if you have never done any paint pouring before you might want to attend our Introductory workshop first. All supplies will be provided. You will have opportunity to hone your skills on a practice canvas first and then paint your own string pull masterpiece! You can take both pieces home with you. Please note that it takes approximately 72 hours for the paint to fully cure. You will need to transport your painting carefully. A "pizza box" will be provided to help you bring your masterpiece home with ease. Paint pouring can get messy so dress appropriately. An apron or an old shirt is a good idea!
