Create & Sip | ‘Alcohol Ink Art’

Sip on your choice of beverage (and indulge in a few yummy nibbles) and come and have some fun whilst learning all about the wonder of alcohol inks and creating some beautiful artworks.

We will cover a range of techniques including all safety information regarding working with these inks.
Some of these things include;

• What You Will Need (Tools & Materials)
• The safety aspects of working with alcohol inks and isopropyl alcohol
• Different types of alcohol inks
• Colour Theory Basics
• Preparing Your Workspace & Inks
• The Magic Of Metallic/Mixative Inks
• Adding Detail using different techniques
• Tilting Effects
• Halo Effects
• Drying & Sealing Your Pieces
• Finishing Your Artwork

You will be able to create at least 3 or 4 artworks.

Whether you’re looking for something fun to do either by yourself or with a friend, an introduction to a new hobby, a way to meet new people or to unwind and get creative, this is a great opportunity to do all that – no previous skills required!
These sessions also make great gift ideas.

Why Do a Workshop with Us?

Here’s what makes us different from other creative spaces.

•  All our Tutors are experienced in teaching and have many years of experience working with their respective mediums/in their field of expertise – for most of our tutors this is over 15 years experience.
• Our workshop sizes are small with no more than 12 students.
• We provide a friendly, inviting space and cater for many challenges you may face  (health issues, food intolerances, anxiety, etc.). Many of our students (and some of our tutors) suffer from chronic illness and have special needs. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to Dani who will do her best to help you out;
• We use only high quality materials/products in our workshops and myself and our Tutors are familiar with how these work and can give you accurate information/answers to your questions;
• Students are able to browse our 1500+ products and purchase if they wish to either before, during or after their workshop;
• We offer payment plan options on most workshops as we understand that finances can be tight (please email if you’d like to take advantage of this);
• We are fully insured and there is always someone on site who has a Level 2 first aid qualification and asthma management training. All tutors who are working with children have current, valid Working with Children Checks.
• We offer ‘after workshop’ support for all our students. Students can ask questions of our tutors and refresh any information they need to after the workshop via email, phone or in our Facebook group especially for students.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to seeing you at the Studio very soon!
