Join local artist and Reiki Master, Pina Nast, for a one-of-a-kind painting class! Learn how to create beautiful, abstract paintings with alcohol inks. Alcohol inks are a vibrant, flowy, medium that allow you to paint from a place of intuition, and help you practice the art of letting go. The best part is that it’s impossible to mess up! We will start class with a brief meditation and intention setting to help us tune into the present moment. After learning how to work with the inks and the energy behind different colors, most of the class will be time for you to be creative and allow your intuition to lead the way. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, or someone who says: “I’m just not creative!”, this class is for you. All materials are included and you’ll have the opportunity to leave with multiple unique creations. All materials provided. Investment: $40 Limited slots only!
