Alcohol Ink: Christmas Decorations with UV Resin Accents

Have you ever wondered "what's all the stink about ALCOHOL INK?" Well, this is your opportunity to find out and I promise it's an amazing medium to explore. Alcohol ink is an acid-free, vividly-colored, alcohol-based dye that is liquid, translucent and fast drying. It is best used on non-porous surfaces (e.g. ceramics, synthetic papers, glass, etc).

Versatile, unpredictable, mesmerizing, relaxing and affordable! Alcohol ink art spans across talent levels and experience because it's not really a medium that lends itself well to being controlled - which is why is perfect for beginners and established artists alike. There are always happy accidents that delight and surprise. No matter what you think of your creativity, everyone will make something beautiful during this workshop; but keep in mind that creating art is not about producing a product rather it's about enjoying and learning through the process of unexpected discoveries ! We will then "take it up a notch" with some accents using UV resin to incorporate those amazing glazes of clear resin with metallic flakes/diamond dust/glitter/reflective glass, etc.

The decorations are a wide variety of shapes and sizes: glass white and clear balls in small and large, bells, sublimation tiles, icicles, deer, and a few surprises as well.This class will be fast-paced and enjoyable for all creatives regardless of skill level or age! In the end, you will be taking home some lovely decorations that you've created PLUS the knowledge of this wild and unpredictable ink medium. There is an endless supply of glitter and bling to decorate your items; foils, metallics, fake snow, jewels.....etc.

NOTE: We will be using 99% isopropyl alcohol which does have a strong odor (VOC) and NOT suitable for elderly and very young people. Workshop is in the lower level so you will be required to go up and down one flight of stairs (with a sturdy banister) independently.

Gloves and aprons are provided. Refreshments such as coffee, tea, pop, water and assorted pre-packaged treats like chocolate bars and chips are here for you but you can bring something of your own choice as well.

Preferred registration by etransfer to [email protected] or by using this ticket agent, Eventbrite.
