About this Event
At Unique Union, Inc., we have always believed that self-care is a positive habit and we have been using DIY projects in our creative community since September 2019 as a way to "put in the work" that is needed to maintain our emotional well-being.
September's theme is Self Care + Flow.
This workshop is all about connecting with your everyday environment, improving your mood, promoting creativity, and making self-care a daily ritual with very little effort. We provide the tools needed to make personalized alcohol ink paintings on canvas (arranged in your own, unique fashion)!
Alcohol inks are brightly colored dye-based paints most often used in creating free-flowing textures. They can be used alone in mixed media projects such as printing and stamping, making jewelry, fabric dying, and brightening household objects. These dye-based inks are transparent and extremely vibrant. Because of the transparent properties, you can play around with layering and blending the inks. Once the first layer dries, you can add additional layers to create depth and overlapping colors. The transparency lets you add tints of color and texture without muddying or concealing an object's original pattern or surface. However, white alcohol ink is opaque and can mix with the other colors to create tints and pastels.
You can join us with the "pay what you can" option (suggested $15 per craft item) -- to keep future #SelfCareSunday Craft Workshop attendance free of charge for local, underserved individuals on a journey to maintain their mental health through creative well-being.
Save your space today! No experience is needed & all supplies are provided. Craft instruction will begin at 2 pm.
