Learn the basics of working with alcohol inks with Nina Yocom.

Have you been curious about alcohol inks? This Introduction to Alcohol Inks is perfect for someone who has no experience to someone who wants more experience using a variety of different surfaces and tools.

In this class you will:

• Begin by working on a blank 6” x 6” white ceramic tile focusing on the intuitive nature of inks and the fine balance between controlling the inks using a variety of tools and allowing the painting to process.

• Apply inks to a number of different surfaces including a variety of synthetic papers and canvas.

• Learn to use tools such as paintbrushes, foam brushes, and hot and cool air flow to move and control the inks.

• Conclude with a thorough review of how to finish your work with a focus on colorfastness and longevity.

• Go home with several frame-worthy pieces of your own work.

What to bring: A willingness to let go and appreciate the intiutive nature of working with alcohol inks in a low-pressure, fun environment. You will find that working with inks is very meditative, relaxing and exciting. I'm really looking forward to sharing this experience with you!

Class includes costs of all materials.

Must be age 16 or older.
