Alcohol Inks 101
Play & Learn

for ages 13+​
This class has passed.  Join the mailing list to to stay up to date on class schedules.

Join Chelsea Sparks for some collective art fun!
The workshop in alcohol inks doesn’t require any previous experience or a belief in “artistic ability,” just a desire to play and stretch your creative muscle. This class isn’t about making representational art, it’s about enjoying the way the translucent inks move around the special paper and exploring new ways to combine and manipulate them. Most people find it very relaxing and meditative, with a bonus of having beautiful art to take home in the end. This is a terrific class to take with friends, and a great place to make new ones!​


​Supplies provided: Yupo paper, set of 3 Ranger brand alcohol inks, a spritzer bottle with gold Pinata alcohol ink and a variety of tools to use.

What you might want to bring: Maybe an apron. We have a limited number of aprons for use on a first come first serve basis.​

​Ever wonder what to do with all those paper scraps that you just CAN'T throw away? This is the ultimate recycling project.  Join us for Patti’s most popular workshop… ever!  Paper Mosaics: where bits of paper, gold leafing, tissue, and scraps become beautiful works of art. 
Many of her students have taken this workshop multiple times since the results are one-of-a-kind amazing.  The workshop is designed for beginning students as well as experienced artists. Using torn paper, glue, stamps, glitter, gold leafing and vintage paper you will create a collection of  beautiful 1x1 mosaic tiles.  You will leave with sixteen of the tiles beautifully framed in an 8x8 shadow box ready to hang or give as a gift. There will be plenty leftover pieces to use for cards, journals, scrapbooks, boxes and other framed art. Come into the shop to see the beautiful samples. The photos don’t do the project justice. The possibilities are endless!  Bet you can’t make just one!
All supplies and materials are furnished for this workshop although you may want to bring an apron.

​This is truly a mixed media art piece.  You will use a rectangular frame that holds three 4x4 square substrates to create your artwork.  Using layering techniques, the squares will be covered with texture paste, vintage papers, cheesecloth, and gesso.  Shrink plastic is the star of the show.  We will use specialized molds to shrink several images to add to the layered backgrounds.  Using paper clay, wire, charms, and beads, you will further embellish your surfaces.  The end result is a unique framed piece of art that will warm anyone’s heart, ready to hang or give as a gift.  This is a project we think you will do more than once.   
 
You will receive a kit containing everything you need to complete this project as well as all the tools needed to complete the project.

FAQs

What Supplies should I have for the class? 
Supplies are listed for individual classes, but if you want a idea of useful things to have we have a Basic Tool Kit list below.  It is always a good idea to bring a notepad or some way to keep notes.  For classes that involve paints, an apron comes in handy as well.  

Will there be a lunch break? 
Classes that are more than 3 hours do have a 45 minute lunch break.  Our art studio is spacious enough for classes, yet with all the art supplies we discourage eating in the creating space.  With so many fabulous restaurants within walking distance we strongly recommend that you plan to treat yourself to one of the local spots. You can find a list of places here and our staff is happy to recommend their favorites.
