Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden

MORE MAGIC
WITH ALCOHOL INKS

Experience the almost instant magic, the infinite possibilities and surprises of alcohol inks over three class sessions. Inspired by the images and colors of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, participants will use a variety of techniques to create several small, painted tiles suitable for hanging and gifting. For those who have painted on tiles with Shelley previously: no two alcohol ink paintings are ever the same, and Shelley will have new tips and tricks! Painting expertise or experience with alcohol inks is not necessary. This creative adventure is designed to be fun for everyone. Materials, time, and instruction to frame and/or mount your best work will be included.
