Batik-Style Alcohol Ink Workshop — Create a Vivid Work of Art!
Discover the magic of batik-inspired alcohol ink painting in this guided, two-hour creative workshop at Lacey Makerspace! You’ll learn how to use vibrant alcohol inks combined with a wax-resist technique to create striking, colorful artwork that radiates with life.
Using synthetic paper as your canvas, you’ll begin by applying a special resist medium to define your image — much like traditional batik fabric art. Then, you’ll layer brilliant alcohol inks around those preserved lines, watching as color flows, blends, and blooms across the surface. When the resist is removed, your design will reveal crisp white highlights and dynamic contrast, transforming your piece into a luminous masterpiece.
Each participant can choose to complete one large 9x12 painting or two smaller 5x7 pieces, guided step-by-step through the process. A variety of images and stencils will be available — from bold florals, playful cartoon characters, to vivid wildlife designs — so every artist can find an image that speaks to them. Feel free to bring your own art printed on paper, just keep it simple, and we will help you turn it into a one of a kind piece of art.
No experience is necessary! This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about alcohol inks or looking to express creativity in a fun, relaxed environment. Come experiment, learn new techniques, and leave with a finished artwork you’ll be proud to display.
