Introduction to Alcohol Ink Art

Saturday May 2, 2026 1:00pm-2:30pm $25.00

Curious about Alcohol Inks?

I was too! Join us for an introductory class where you will learn:


  • What Alcohol Inks are and how to work with them on different surfaces ( plastic craft paper, ceramic tiles)
  • You’ll be able to try out different ways to move the inks around (brushes, micro

brushes, qtips, puffers, hair dryers)


At the end of the class you will bring home an inked bookmark and a ceramic tile.


Guest Instructor Janet Folkman put down art in her early 20’s and filed up her days with all things Social Work for the next 41 years. Promising herself she would pick up art in her retirement, she decided not to wait! She came across alcohol inks about 10 years ago when she saw a class being offered and she proclaimed I have found my medium! Since then she has provided demonstrations, taught classes and given private lessons. Her art has been shown in galleries, art shows and craft fairs

.

You will need to sign additional waivers to participate in this class:


Please review Safety Precautions-


I use an abundance of caution for all of us to have an enjoyable

class

  • Rubbing alcohol and alcohol inks are a known irritant and they

are flammable

  • The industry recommends wearing protection and you will be

provided with a kn95 medical grade mask, latex free gloves and

eye protection to use at your own discretion. Respirators are

suggested as well but can’t be offered. Please bring your own if

you want.

  • precautions will be taken to limit the exposure to the rubbing

alcohol and inks. •We will have ventilation (open windows ) and

fans. This is the recommended modification so the inks and

solutions so they can be used more safely .

  • The class size is limited to 7 students to provide personal space

and to manage your artist area.

  • Wear clothes that you don’t care about! The inks permanently

stain clothing

  • All art materials used during class are included in the class fee.

Classes at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+.
