Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing world of alcohol ink and learn to create breathtaking skies and tropical seascapes!

Demonstrations and individual attention will be provided by the artist to create majestic skies and ocean scenes with rocks, islands and trees. All levels welcome and supplies provided. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop welcomes all levels to explore the vibrant beauty of alcohol ink!
What is Alcohol Ink?
Alcohol ink is a fluid art. The inks are dye-based and extremely vibrant due to heavy pigmentation. The inks glide freely on non-porous surfaces and are easily manipulated with various techniques such as blowing, stamping or brushing. Another unique quality of alcohol ink is that the dried ink can be “revived” when coming into contact with fresh ink or blending solution, allowing for further process of the design. Alcohol ink is a fun and unique medium, allowing for creative freedom.
About the teaching artist:
Debra L. Snyder, Fine Artist/Potter/Instructor
I began my formal art education at Parsons School of Art & Design in New York and years later studied acrylic and watercolor painting with renowned artists at the Woodstock School of Art. My favorite theme for landscapes and seascapes was inspired while living at the Jersey Shore, the Catskill Mountains and the coastal areas of New England. My first encounter with alcohol ink occurred ten years ago while traveling in Arizona. I was immediately intrigued by this fluid art, the brilliance of the pigment and its versatility. Unlike acrylic or watercolor painting, alcohol ink allows for a freedom of expression which I find unique and challenging. I have been practicing as an alcohol ink artist since then and continue to discover new techniques and applications with this exciting medium.
Clay art has also been one of my passions and has kept me captivated for twenty years now. I am continually improving and exploring throwing techniques and I find the rewards of throwing clay immeasurable.
