Ellis Visual Arts LLC – Tumbler Workshop: Alcohol Ink Tumbler Studio Experience
Join us for a hands-on studio workshop where you’ll create a one-of-a-kind 20 oz skinny tumbler using vibrant alcohol inks. These highly pigmented, fast-drying dyes flow beautifully across powder-coated surfaces, allowing for expressive movement, blending, and organic patterns—while the stainless steel interior keeps your tumbler durable and functional.
We’ll start with an introduction to alcohol inks, including color selection and surface preparation, followed by a demonstration of techniques using air and gravity to guide the ink. You’ll then create your design as your tumbler rotates on a turner, ensuring smooth, even coverage and eye-catching results.
This workshop is beginner-friendly while still offering plenty of creative freedom for those looking to explore color and motion.
