“Inks & Drinks” with Janet McKelvey

A Saturday Inks & Drinks class! Enjoy creating your own art while checking out all that the gallery has to offer. Create a gift for yourself or one to give to a loved one.  The holidays are coming so why not make a gift for someone special in your life?  Your ticket includes instruction and supplies to create a beautiful set of four coasters using alcohol based inks on ceramic tiles and the option of adding a larger trivet. No artistic ability required! You will also enjoy a complimentary sampling of the Teafinery’s delicious specialty teas and homemade pastries by Renee Napoli. BYOB if you prefer. I will take your artwork with me to finish with UV protectant spray, bartop epoxy and a cork bottom. They will be ready for you to use and enjoy in about a week.

There is an option to add on a trivet.  You must purchase the coasters to add on a trivet.  All materials are provided.  No experience required.  All ages welcome.  If under 13, adult supervision is required.

About Janet:

My love for stained glass began about 20 years ago.  I signed up for a beginner class and just took off from there. I haven’t used anyone else’s pattern since. (Well, except for Tiffany.  I have reproduced a few of his masterpieces.) I enjoy the whole process from the idea, the design, carefully choosing each individual piece of glass and meticulously shaping them to fit together. I get most of my inspiration from nature. I marvel at the way nature is perfect, even when it’s imperfect. I love designing to suit my clients taste and environment from a six foot window down to a little suncatcher.  I have custom made windows of various shapes and sizes,  cabinet doors,  lamps,  boxes etc. There’s nothing like delivering something that moves someone’s spirit like only art can do. Today I teach the same class I started with.  I also teach and enjoy working with alcohol inks, acrylic paint and glass mosaic but stained glass will always have my heart.
