Piñata Alcohol Inks Demo
Piñata Alcohol Ink is known for its intense color saturation and the unpredictable, organic effects you can only get from an alcohol-based, dye-driven ink. Unlike water-based paints, Piñata inks are indelible once dry, resist water, and can be "re-wet" with alcohol to reactivate and blend — which is exactly what makes techniques like petri dish pours, ink drips, and faux stained glass possible.
In this session, we'll cover:
-
What makes alcohol ink different from acrylic, watercolor, and other paint mediums
-
Which surfaces work best — glass, metal, ceramic, resin, polymer clay, YUPO® synthetic paper, leather, and more
-
Core techniques for blending, dripping, and layering color, plus how the re-wetting property opens up effects you can't get any other way
-
Care and handling tips — alcohol ink is permanent and strong-smelling, so we'll talk ventilation, protective surfaces, and cleanup
