Alcohol Ink on Canvas Workshop
Sunday 26th April 2026
THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULLY BOOKED
In this extended 3.5-hour alcohol ink workshop, you’ll explore the fluid, meditative beauty of inks — a medium that surprises and delights with every movement.
You’ll begin with practice pieces before creating your own 40 x 50cm canvas to take home. Then you will be guided through techniques including blending, layering, creating texture, and shaping space, so you can bring to life abstract forms, moons, landscapes, florals, or something entirely your own.
This workshop is open to everyone — whether you’ve never picked up a brush since school or you’re a seasoned maker looking for a fresh approach.
What’s Included:
Welcome teas & coffee
All art materials (inks, canvas, tools, gloves, apron)
Your own 40 x 50cm canvas to take home as well as your paper pieces
Free parking and entry into the gardens.
