What you'll do

Join Caroline Barber for a captivating alcohol ink class in Brisbane, where you'll learn how to create one- or two-of-a-kind designs on planter pots using this exciting medium! Perfect for beginners, Caroline will guide you through the process of decorating pots with alcohol ink, showcasing vibrant colors that merge together to form stunning patterns. In our intimate classes, you'll receive ample attention and instruction, allowing for a shorter class duration compared to larger groups. However, if you prefer a larger class or a longer timeframe, feel free to reach out to your teacher for arrangements.

During this workshop, we'll cover alcohol ink safety and explore techniques for decorating pots, including contoured surfaces. You'll discover our unique method for achieving a dappled pattern that will truly make your pots stand out. Additionally, you'll learn how to mix and merge colors to create captivating effects. We'll also discuss the importance of sealing the pots to preserve your artwork.

Carve out some time for yourself and join us for a relaxing hour of unleashing your creativity and decorating two 1.2 liter alcohol ink pots to take home. If you'd like, you can bring your own small/medium pot or consult with your teacher about decorating a larger one.

Caroline is incredibly flexible with class times, so don't hesitate to contact her if you require an alternate session. Embrace this opportunity to learn a new skill, create personalized pieces for your home, and discover the transformative power of alcohol ink. Take home your beautifully decorated pots and watch as they add a touch of uniqueness and vibrancy to your spaces.

You can take your items on the day. If it is raining the finish may be affected with the Humidity. I can keep them and spray when the humidity drop so the finish is optimal or you can finish them at home if the weather is bad.
