Drops & Swirls

Drops & Swirls LLC, a new Canonsburg-based business, opened for business in May. Mayor David H. Rhome commemorated the celebration with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by art marbling and Pampered Chef demonstrations.

Art marbling involves dropping paint on the surface of liquid in a tray then using tools and various techniques to swirl the paint, ultimately creating a one-of-a-kind design. The design is then transferred to silk or another object. Drops & Swirls will offer art nights open to the public as well as private events where groups can enjoy the shared art marbling experience. These services are designed to create artful, magical moments and beautiful works of art for guests.

Drops & Swirls is in the heart of Canonsburg at 22 W. Pike St. For additional information about the business, visit www.dropsandswirls.com or via Facebook search for @marbling@dropsandswirls.com.
