Join Debra Jason for an engaging and colorful workshop where you'll explore the vibrant world of alcohol inks. You’ll start with a quick introduction to the tools and techniques used to manipulate these free-flowing inks, discovering their fluidity and vibrancy. Once you've learned the basics, you'll jump right into the creative process, crafting your own unique holiday ornaments using this dynamic medium. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have at least one, possibly two, handcrafted baubles to take home. Whether you choose to hang them on your tree, display them on your mantel, or give them as thoughtful gifts, these ornaments will bring a personal and artistic touch to your holiday décor. Get ready to experience the joy of creating with alcohol inks, a medium that offers endless possibilities and a whole lot of fun!
Meet your Instructor: Debra Jason has been exploring alcohol ink painting since 2017. In 2020, when stay-at-home orders were issued, she dove deeper into the medium and discovered others were fascinated by (and wanted to purchase) her creations. Alcohol inks have a mind of their own so no two pieces are exactly alike. Flowers, the ocean and nature often serve as Debra's inspiration, but sometimes she just plays with the inks to see where they lead her. Her goal as an artist is to paint special pieces that not only speak to you, but inspire and bring you joy.
