Wonder Lab: Watercolor Resist

Looking for a fun and educational activity for the whole family that is FREE with museum admission?

In this Wonder Lab, guests will explore the watercolor resist technique by using wax to create designs that magically appear when watercolor paint is applied. As the paint flows across the page, turning simple marks into vibrant works of art.

This activity is part of Slow Art Day, a worldwide celebration that encourages people to slow down, look closely, and enjoy art in a more thoughtful and creative way. Guests are invited to take their time experimenting with color, texture, and design while discovering how this classic technique works.

Wonder Labs bring hands-on STEM learning to life through creativity, experimentation, and play.

Designed for families to explore together, Wonder Labs are interactive workshops that turn big science ideas into exciting, easy-to-understand experiences. Each session encourages curiosity, teamwork, and imagination while making learning feel like fun.
