Design exquisite jewelry from your unique alcohol ink abstracts. Our process involves expertly blending and enhancing metallics with four pieces of art paper using vibrant alcohol inks. Students will experience the thrill of crafting three distinct pieces of jewelry, selecting from a range of pendant settings, earrings, bracelets, and rings, all accompanied by chains. All materials are provided, allowing each individual to create and take home three stunning jewelry pieces.
Julie Tibus
A Bachelor of Fine Arts, Julie Tibus has been professionally selling and showing her work for over 15 years and currently teaches at her own studios in Ann Arbor and Brighton, Michigan. Julie has an insatiable curiosity that leads her to explore emerging mediums with a desire to discover new techniques. Her work draws from an intersection of nature and her own bold expression of it.
"My art is centered on exploring natural form, embracing color, and working intuitively. I begin with a loose thought (floral, landscape, color, pattern, shape) then move through the composition with an internal desire to free myself from laboring and instead lose myself completely to the process. I believe we all are creative and through art we can learn how to overcome the fear of comparison, the unknown, and those hard expectations we impose on ourselves. My work is for the viewer to experience, contemplate and enjoy."
