Have fun while creating one-of-a-kind works of art with alcohol ink on ceramic tile. In this workshop you will create beautiful tiles that can be used as tile design elements or turned into trivets as gifts for loved ones - or for yourself!

You will learn a number of techniques for applying ink and adding details. Use your imagination and various tools while watching the ink spread and interesting patterns and textures appear. No experience needed as everyone is a beginner when starting with alcohol ink!

$15 materials fee is due to the instructor at the first session.

  • Please note: We will be using 90+% rubbing alcohol and it is smelly, but the odor disappears fast. Those with sensitivities to odors may want to refrain from taking this workshop.
  • Supplies to create up to four 4”x4” tile trivets will be provided. We will practice on squares of Yupo paper (supplied by teacher) and then create our tiles. When tiles are dry we will finish the edges, apply a cork backing (optional) and spray on a tough finish to protect our masterpieces.
  • Important: Alcohol ink is very staining so it is essential that you bring some sort of vinyl gloves and dress appropriately as you should expect to get ink on what you are wearing (aprons/ smocks are recommended). Students must provide a plastic covering for their work surface.
