Beginner's Alcohol Ink Workshop
Date: Sunday November 5, 1:00-2:30pm
Location: Craftspace, 3675 Concorde Pkwy, Chantilly, VA 20151
Come for an afternoon of fun and learn how to play with alcohol inks! You’ll leave with a basic understanding of creating fluid ink pieces and get to take home your own abstract piece of art that’s ready for display!
I am opening up my ink collection for all during this workshop and you will be able to select 1-2 colors from my 20+ bottle collection. We will start on loose synthetic paper to get used to moving the inks around with nothing but our breath and isopropyl alcohol. Once you get the hang of that, we’ll move onto an 8x8” gesso panel and work on your final creation.
Safety Considerations: Due to the nature of this medium, I will be discussing the safety aspect of using this medium (both vapor and skin) and I will provide vinyl gloves to use. Please bring your own protective gloves if you have allergies to consider! Responsible teenagers (with an adult preferred) are welcome, however no one below 13 please.
* I will need to take your pieces back to my studio to seal properly with varnish + UV protection and will bring them back to the Craftspace for pick-up! You may pick up from my studio home in South Riding if you’d prefer that. If you already own varnish and UV protection sealants, you may feel free to take your art home immediately!
