Athens Arts will explore alcohol inks during its next community class.
All paints consist of a pigment (color) and a binder. For alcohol inks, the pigment is the ink and the binder is isopropyl alcohol. The isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly leaving highly pigmented ink.
In the 1980s, scrapbookers were looking for a way to make different background designs. They used their inks on plastic paper and make interesting abstract art. Learn ways to manipulate these inks and discover how artists continue to use this medium.
The instructor will provide all supplies needed for this class.
The class is scheduled for Oct.13. Choose either an afternoon session (1-3 p.m.) or an evening session (6-8 p.m.). Class is open to anyone 12 years and older. Cost is $35. Classes meet at Athens Arts, 216 E. Main St.
