Offering another Beginning Alcohol Inks class in response to demand. It’s really fun, don’t miss this one. We get to play with fire!

Beginning Alcohol Inks on Tile

Wednesday, May 1, 7:00pm, $30

No experience needed. Create colorful, vibrant designs on ceramic tiles using alcohol inks. You’ll get step-by-step instruction on how to apply these amazing inks to a ceramic coaster tile for practice, then make another tile showing off your new skills.  Mistakes are easily fixed, no worries. These are beautiful gifts – for someone else or yourself.

You will take home two completed tiles. The tile designs can be matching, or you can create two different designs. Provided supplies include: ceramic tiles, alcohol inks, 91% alcohol, pipettes, lighters, gloves and tools. Dress for mess!

$30 per person includes everything. NEW: Payment is required in advance. You must contact the Gallery directly to register. We take cash, credit cards and checks.  Space is limited, so don’t wait. Please note, no refunds if you cancel within 48 hours of class start.

IMPORTANT: If you RSVP for this class, please do your best to attend. We keep a waiting list, and it’s not fair if you RSVP then don’t show up.

Thank you for supporting local artists and small business!

Please note our winter hours are in effect. We’re open Friday 11am-7pm, Saturday 11am-5pm and Sunday 12-4pm. Other times by appointment. Please contact us by email for information on our children/youth art classes, which begin in late January.  Classes for adults will be posted as we schedule them. Happy New Year!

Hoping everyone had a happy and safe holiday!
