Please join us Saturday, February 28 at 10 a.m. for our next meeting.
We will welcome Jenn Acus-Smith, and we will explore the experimental magic of ink-making using natural materials found in nature and the kitchen. Jenn will share her methods for making ink and how to change the colors using various modifiers. Participants will have time for some creative play with the inks as well!
Things to bring if you have them.
- Watercolor paper
- Various sizes of watercolor brushes
- Droppers ( think we have a bunch of these from Karen’s stash)
- Water cups
- Paper towels
- Small palettes (as shown above)
- Your favorite writing nibs and holders
As usual, we will have extras to share as needed.
All meetings are held at 10 a.m. on the lower level of the Bell Tower Arts Pavilion, 3270 Glendale Milford Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45241, unless otherwise noted.
Exhibit opportunity
For more than two decades, the Evendale Fine Art Exhibit has celebrated the extraordinary talent of artists from across our region—and year after year, artists tell us the same thing: this show feels welcoming, well-organized, and genuinely respectful of the creative process. That feedback guides everything we do.
Now in its 24th year, the Evendale Fine Art Exhibit offers artists:
- A professionally juried exhibition
- A lively, well-attended opening night celebration
- Cash awards and meaningful recognition
- Opportunities to connect with fellow artists and engaged audiences
What continues to inspire us most is the depth and diversity of work submitted each year. From bold contemporary approaches to finely honed traditional practices, the exhibit reflects a region rich in creative voices—and it’s always a privilege to share that work with the community.
