All About Inks

Martha Cole and Sandy Odom will share everything you ever wanted to know about inks: how to choose the right ink for your project; the difference between dye-based and pigmented ink and why that’s important; how to make ink from powdered pigments, gouache, and watercolors; how to make a good white ink; what to do when your ink won’t flow; what makes an ink lightfast; and more! We’ll have demos and lots of samples to try, so you’ll come away with some great, practical tips and tricks!
