Discover the vibrant world of alcohol ink through our workshop, open to all ages from middle school to seniors!
No artistic experience needed – we ensure everyone creates a masterpiece they love. Unleash your creativity as you blend colours, and experiment with new techniques. It’s more than just art; it’s a therapeutic experience that fosters relaxation and joy.
What is alcohol ink art?
Alcohol ink art is a technique in which special ink is used in combination with alcohol (usually isopropyl) to create abstract patterns with the help of airflow and gravity. All you need to do is pick the colours matching your mood!
About the workshop
We will prepare the workspace and substrates for you so that you can start painting straight away.
To begin, apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol onto the paper using a dropper. Alcohol helps the ink to spread more easily. Drop the ink onto the paper and watch it spread. Use the hand fan and gravity to spread the ink, creating dynamic patterns. Add more drops of ink and alcohol as needed, using the fan to blend and layer the colours. Continue until reached the satisfaction point. Allow the painting to dry completely. Add any finishing touches and seal the artwork with a clear varnish.
You may create as many artworks as you wish in one hour!
