Explore the world of alcohol inks and find your creative outlet in this exciting media.

Alcohol inks are fast-drying, highly pigmented, alcohol-based inks that are great to use on any hard, non-porous surface including glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, stone, leather and polymer clay. Once the ink is applied, the alcohol evaporates, leaving the dye behind. Once alcohol ink dries, it can be re-wet with rubbing alcohol (91% Isopropyl Alcohol), allowing for unique and versatile effects that cannot be achieved with water-based products like acrylic paint. Alcohol ink is waterproof, adding to its durable properties.

Class time: 3 hour class on Fridays for 6 weeks

Also learn how to embellish upon a pour paint with abstract paint, markers, glitter and any other object they’d like to add to their work. This becomes a mixed media painting.

Second 3 hours will be designed for students to make at least 3 paintings each, while using different techniques.  Each technique would be an exciting application of the pour paint.
