Alcohol Ink Class for Beginners

Alcohol Ink - 101 Your introduction to Alcohol Inks and all the fun you can have!

My Alcohol Ink Workshop is a ridiculously fun and easy 3 hour workshop you will learn a little about alcohol inks and the exciting things you can create with them.

Ever seen kids playing with paint and ink with abandon? This is just like that, but for grown ups!

You'll see the ink play on specially-created "yupo" paper and also on glass.  You'll make three different designs on this special paper by dropping ink on it! And then the fourth piece you'll make will be on glass.  It's so amazing.  You simply won't believe how fabulous this stuff is and how simply you can make amazing art!

Its mezmerising watching it swirl, run and explode when mixed with the pure alcohol on the surface of the paper.

Please wear a warm short of top, as Alcohol Inks are a little smelly, so we’ll be keeping the space well ventilated during this workshop.  And please don’t wear your best clothes, this is a messy (but delightful) art form.

You'll leave with one of your masterpieces framed and ready to hang in your home or to give to a friend as a gift which will be treasured for a lifetime.

Included in the cost is:

all the advice and help I can share
everything you need
a wide selection of alcohol inks and lustres (glittery bits!)
everything you'll need -  disposable gloves, brushes, alcohol solutions, use of my Studio tools as required
Yupo paper
glass for your artwork
the box frame for your final design

This workshop offers you - and maybe your bestie? - an enjoyable experience in a creative, fun and safe environment where you’ll produce a beautiful, original framed alcohol ink piece to keep.

If you can't see a date to suit you and your friends, please message us here on Class Bento, and we will create a date to suit your diary and ours.  (Some of the images that you see here were taken during an Alcohol Ink event at a Hen's Weekend - they had a few glasses of wine, too.)

I run this workshop from 2 locations, my studio in Swan Street Richmond and at "345AC" in Mont Albert.  I can even run this workshop in your location as well if you like: it's a great team-building exercise.

Should you want to make something bigger than the Yupo Paper please let me know and I'll purchase some larger boards on your behalf.

You can see a 40cm x 40cm board finished here. If you'd like to make a larger piece on a board please let me know 2 weeks before your workshops, as I need to order and collect the boards for you, message me here via Class Bento. A small extra cost will be levied.

I have a list available for you of the prices and sizes of boards available: there are actually loads of sizes and shapes in both black and white for you to choose from.  Apparently triangles will be available sometime soon, but at the moment you can have squares, rectangles and circles.

If you don't see a time and date that suits you here please send me a message here on Class Bento so that we will add a new date that suits you.

I can't wait to play with Alcohol Inks with you!
