WINTER INSPIRED
Intermediate Alcohol Inks

Alcohol inks create instant magic, and the possibilities and surprises of this versatile media are infinite. Vibrant and fast-drying, they can be applied to non-porous surfaces such as glass, tile, or metal. Using the images and colors of winter and the beauty of the Garden as inspiration, participants will create their designs on large tiles. Your instructor will briefly review the basics, and then dive right in to demonstrating new techniques. It is strongly recommended that you have prior experience working with alcohol inks on tile. If you have taken the Introduction to Alcohol Inks workshop here at the Garden, this class is for you! All materials are supplied and completed tiles will be yours to take home. Please note that alcohol inks will stain clothing, so come prepared to get messy. Also, this class is for adults only, as alcohol inks are not approved for use by children.
