Spring Alcohol Inks Workshop
Thursday 13th March, 10:30am – 1pm
and
Saturday 22nd March, 10:30am – 1pm
Come and explore the exciting medium of alcohol ink; fairly unknown in the UK, it has endless possibilities and is great fun to experiment with.
In this two-and-a-half-hour workshop with artist Tracey Jane Cooper, you will learn about the process and try different ways to work with this fascinating medium.
All materials are provided, and you will leave with your own Spring-themed A4-mounted artwork. Suitable for all – no artistic experience necessary. You don’t need to be able to draw or paint to enjoy this creative workshop.
Please note – don’t wear your best outfit.
You shouldn’t get any ink on your clothes but if you do it’s difficult to completely remove.
You’re welcome to bring an apron if you wish or latex gloves if you prefer to keep your fingers clean.
We will be using small amounts of Isopropyl, which does have an odour, but the mezzanine studio will be ventilated.
Meet the artist:
Tracey Jane Cooper creates uplifting, contemporary art from her studio in central Reigate, Surrey. She is inspired by nature’s colour and patterns, which is evident in her work. As well as painting with acrylic, Tracey Jane has developed a passion for working with alcohol ink. Often working without brushes and mainly a straw, she creates fluid shapes which have many intricate layers, giving the appearance of a delicate, chiffon-like quality.
She says: “The vibrancy of the highly pigmented ink and the way it moves and creates different tones when it mixes with the alcohol is quite mesmerising to see.”
Ages 16+
Tickets: £56* (Materials included)
Please note the workshop on the 22nd is a repeat of the one on the 13th.
*A £2 ticket booking fee applies when booking online and in person. The booking fee covers costs charged to the charity for the booking system and payment processing.
