Join us in an Alcohol Inks class with local artist, Dave Christensen of Bagley, MN. Participants who come to this class will learn about alcohol inks and how they can be manipulated using air, straws, brushes, moving the paper in any direction, or by using old credit cards.

Dave will quickly put everyone at ease while allowing students to come up to get their supplies to create their masterpieces. The class will be focused on creating abstract paintings. Some items/techniques that are used in this art project are: a type of paper called Yupo, isopropyl alcohol, and a bleeding solution. This is challenging to most students until they stop trying to control what is happening. It is very much a “let go and see what happens” type of art experience. Some comments from previous participants who have taken a similar class range from “loved this class! wonderful, something everyone can enjoy” to “I have found my jam!!” The instructor will bring all tools and materials needed.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Region 2 Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation thanks to the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
