Join Chalice for an annual treat–painting ghost stories, a wonderful way to work with the ethereal properties of ink. Chalice will teach ink painting in a step-by-step progression that makes ink accessible. Students will learn the basics of ink mixing, water-to-ink ratio, brushwork, composition, and some history and philosophy of ink. All materials will be provided.
