Art on Thursday – August 10- Alcohol Ink

What are alcohol inks?

Did you know? All paints consist of a pigment (color) and a binder. 

For alcohol inks, the pigment is the ink and the binder is isopropyl alcohol. The isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly leaving highly pigmented ink.

Did you know? In the 1980s, scrapbookers were looking for a way to make different background designs. They used their inks on plastic paper and make interesting abstract art.

Come learn and have some fun! Learn ways to manipulate these inks and discover how artists continue to use this medium. The instructor, Ellie Dieckmeyer, will provide all supplies needed for this an engaging class.
