March Meeting
Mar 24 – 2 - 5 pm

Program: 
Painting polymer clay with alcohol inks, using a blending technique.
​
Leader:  Icha Cantero
​
Supplies & Tools:
Any color of conditioned clay, the clay will be your background, choose a color that complement the colors of the inks you’ll be using

• The colors of your choice of alcohol inks, I recommend 1 of them be metallic
• A plastic or glass work surface, nonporous (surfaces can be easily cleaned with alcohol)
• Alcohol ink blending solution, or you can make your own: 2oz Rubbing Alcohol/Isopropyl Alcohol (90% or higher) + 2-3 drops of liquid glycerin
• Cookie cutters of your choice
• ​Basic Polymer Clay Tool Kit: Pasta Machine w/clamp, handle, wood block to protect table, work surface, cutting blade, acrylic roller.

For this demo Icha won't be asking you to bring a hair blow dryer, but she will show you how to use it, if you do want to bring one (optional) It has to have a cool/cold setting, it will not work with heat, because it will heat-set your clay. The effect can be achieved without a blow dryer.

Bring your work to show off!
