CREATING WITH
Alcohol Inks on Tile

Alcohol inks are a vibrant, fast-drying medium used to paint on non-porous surfaces such as glass, plastic, tile, or metal. The possibilities for experimentation are limitless! Experience the almost instant magic of these inks on tile. Using florals and landscapes as inspiration, we’ll create colorful, abstracted tiles. No painting expertise or alcohol ink experience is necessary. Designed to be a creative adventure, this workshop is for everyone. All materials are supplied and completed tiles will be yours to take. If you have taken this workshop previously, please note that subject matter is always different, new techniques may be introduced and previous tips and tricks will be reviewed.

All programs are subject to change.

She has had her own studio and gallery, taught “in home” painting workshops, and served as adjunct faculty for the VCU Art Education Department. She strongly believes in everyone’s ability to create and the pure joy to be found through “playing” with a variety of art media. As a practicing visual artist, she also understands the absolute necessity of the arts in society and advocates for the visual and performing arts.
“Teaching at Lewis Ginter has been the greatest gift of my retirement years. I have had the privilege of working surrounded by beautiful, ever-changing inspiration and meeting the most wonderful people.”
