What is the Secret of Alcohol Inks?
Alcohol inks are a unique way to create art with vibrant, highly-pigmented colors. Because of the highly concentrated inks, just a small amount of ink will go a long way. Alcohol inks can be used on many surfaces to create cards, beautiful gifts and fine art.
We will experiment with different techniques to create a variety of textures on various surfaces to see how alcohol inks react. In the class, you will create multiple unique projects to take home, including bookmarks, coasters, abstract art, and a nature piece. This class is perfect for all artistic levels. Beginners and experts alike can create beautiful works of art by combining alcohol inks with their imagination.
Please note: alcohol inks have a strong scent so people with sensitivity to smells or respiratory issues need to be cautious.
