In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll dive into the vibrant world of alcohol inks as you create a stunning seahorse-themed painting on ceramic tile. Your instructor will guide you step by step through a variety of alcohol ink techniques, including pouring, blending, carving, and dotting, all tailored to capture the movement and whimsy of the ocean.

Choose to work on either a 4"x12" tile or a set of three 3"x6" tiles as your canvas. Several sample designs featuring seahorses and ocean-inspired elements will be available to spark your creativity. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with your own colorful, underwater masterpiece—ready to display and admire.

Note: Alcohol fumes may irritate sensitive lungs, and isopropyl alcohol can irritate the skin. Masks and gloves will be available upon request. Please wear appropriate clothes for painting, and feel free to bring your own apron if you have one. Art smocks will be available as well.

All materials will be supplied. This is an in-person class and masks are optional. Register in person or online here: https://salmonriverfineartscenter.square.site/

About the Artist: Robin Eaton-Novak

I am originally from the Virgin Islands, where my interest in art first began. Over time, life led me in other directions, and I set my artistic pursuits aside. However, the spark was rekindled when I attended two classes at the Salmon River Fine Arts Center! I currently work as a mental health therapist at Fort Drum, where I incorporate alcohol ink painting as a therapeutic intervention to teach patience, acceptance, and individual perception.
