Introduction to Creating with Alcohol Ink Class with Tammy Burgett
October 4 – November 8, (six sessions)
Tuesday evenings, 6:30 - 8:30pm
This series of classes is designed for anyone that desires to learn more about alcohol ink as an art medium. The class will cover the fundamentals of alcohol ink: introduction to alcohol ink and the various mediums you can work on, tools and techniques to move inks and create texture, brush handling, and preservation of your work. We will briefly talk about composition, shape, line, value, color and texture as we work with the inks to create abstracts, florals, landscapes and seascapes. Alcohol inks are wildly unpredictable – this can be either a lot of fun or very frustrating! Come with an open mind and a chill attitude. Because of the nature of the inks it’s almost impossible to exactly duplicate a piece, so it’s guaranteed that no two creations will be identical but they will all be beautiful. Your individuality and uniqueness in creative expression is strongly encouraged.
Class fee is $180 for Members ($190 for Non-Members) plus $20 for Supply Package provided by instructor (payable at first class). There is also a Supply List of Materials to be brought to class by students.
Minimum enrollment to hold class is three students. Full Class Outline and Materials List available below.
