Color Unleashed: A Guided Alcohol Ink Workshop

Workshop | Registration opens Tuesday, February 3, 2026 10:00 AM

Dive into the mesmerizing world of alcohol ink art! In this hands-on session, participants will explore how to create vibrant, fluid, and abstract designs using highly pigmented alcohol-based inks on non-porous surfaces like Yupo paper or ceramic tiles. Participants will experiment with techniques such as dropping and blending inks, layering colors, masking, alcohol lifting, and controlled spraying to achieve stunning marble-like effects.

A Springdale Senior Center instructor will guide everyone, step-by-step, through each process, sharing insider tips on color flow, composition, and ink control that take months to master solo. Participants will have access to high-quality materials, expert instruction, and a supportive, creative environment that encourages play and discovery.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a fun, creative outlet or an experienced artist curious about a new medium, this workshop offers both structure and freedom -- plus the joy of connecting with others who love to make art. Leave with your own unique masterpiece and the confidence to keep exploring alcohol inks on your own!

  • This program is being held in person at the new Springdale Senior Center, located at 823 E. Emma Ave, Springdale, AR 72764.

    Meeting room and other details, including parking information, will be sent in the class reminder.
