Founded in 2020, Group AID was built on the belief that everyone deserves access to enrichment opportunities, regardless of their background. We’re dedicated to closing the gap for underserved communities by providing a wide range of activities that inspire, educate, and uplift. Through workshops like this, we aim to empower individuals with new skills, boost their confidence, and spark joy through the act of creation.
What Makes Bear Brick So Special?
Bear Brick, the iconic collectible figurine, has garnered a cult following around the world. First introduced by the Japanese company Medicom Toy in 2001, these bear-shaped figures have become synonymous with artistic expression and pop culture. Collaborating with renowned artists, fashion designers, and brands, Bear Bricks are celebrated not just as toys but as contemporary art pieces.

The figure’s simple, block-like design provides a versatile platform for reinterpretation, where artists from different disciplines can infuse their personal styles. A great example is the Bear Brick inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting Girl with a Pearl Earring. This piece brings a classic artwork into the modern world, blending historical art with contemporary design. It shows how Bear Bricks can connect the past and present in exciting ways, turning a traditional masterpiece into something fresh and engaging.
At Group AID, we’ve taken this creative potential and turned it into an interactive experience with our acrylic pour workshops. We believe that combining popular culture with hands-on activities makes art more approachable and fun. The Bear Brick’s unique shape is perfect for experimenting with colour and design, allowing each participant to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Every Bear Brick tells a different story, and no two will ever look the same, giving everyone a chance to express their personal style while enjoying the creative process.
Unwind and Reconnect with Creativity
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to slow down and focus on personal creativity can be challenging. That’s where this workshop comes in. Acrylic pouring is known for being both visually rewarding and mentally soothing. As you choose your colours, mix your paints, and watch the fluid patterns form on your Bear Brick, you’ll find yourself fully absorbed in the moment. The repetitive, hands-on nature of acrylic pouring helps reduce stress, providing a much-needed break from daily distractions.
Personalize Your Own Bear Brick

One of the best parts of the workshop is that you leave with a completely unique Bear Brick that reflects your personality and artistic vision – you have the freedom to experiment with different techniques and colours. This process of personalizing something as iconic as a Bear Brick turns it into a cherished keepsake, perfect for decorating your home or workspace. Not only is it a decorative piece, but it also serves as a reminder of your creative journey.
Building Confidence Through Creative Exploration
While the Bear Brick Acrylic Pour Workshop is undoubtedly fun, it also offers important developmental benefits. Creativity is often linked to problem-solving skills and emotional well-being. By experimenting with colour combinations and techniques, participants are encouraged to take creative risks and push their boundaries, which helps build confidence.
For many, the joy of creation is deeply therapeutic, offering a sense of accomplishment when they see their artistic vision come to life. Our instructors and volunteers guide participants through the process, offering tips and encouragement to help everyone feel successful, regardless of their artistic experience.
