Melbourne Bead Expo 2021 – Alcohol Ink Art – Dani Rapinett & Leanne Fergeus

June 13, 2021 @ 12:00 am

Do you want to learn how to create beautiful alcohol ink artworks? 

Leanne and Dani will show you all of their tips and tricks for creating fabulous artworks with alcohol inks.
Students will learn how you can use air and alcohol to produce design effects, how the inks react with each other and other solutions, the basics on colour theory and how that applies to working with inks plus how to protect your works of art at home (and why this is necessary).
Leanne and Dani are both big advocates for creating safely and so there will also be a discussion on safety aspects of working with alcohol inks during this workshop (*you will be required to wear a mask during this session).
