Alcohol Ink Art Class
2024-04-13 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Vancouver)
Discover the mesmerizing world of Alcohol Ink, a fluid, heavily saturated color with a dreamy movement, perfect for painting techniques. No prior artistic experience is needed – that’s the magic of Alcohol Inks! Create stunning art on Opus Stone Paper, Yupo paper, or ceramic tiles. Unlike acrylic paints, alcohol inks can be “revived” – dried ink reacts with fresh ink or pure alcohol, allowing for further processing.
Please note: This class involves the use of rubbing alcohol, so if you’re sensitive to odors, you may want to opt-out. Wear paint clothes and gloves for protection.
Date: April 13, 2024
Time: 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Materials: All materials will be provided.

About the Instructor:
Hi there, I’m Lauren Morris, a floral artist with a passion for storytelling through flowers. My work centers on abstract floral themes, painted primarily with acrylic on canvas. I love experimenting with colors, textures, and forms to craft captivating compositions that evoke emotion and movement. Each piece I create is a unique expression, designed to evoke a personal response rather than focusing solely on the subject matter. Join me in exploring the beauty of flowers through art!
