You settle into a worktable that faces the Riverwalk; outside, the Fall River pushes past the town with a steady, insistent rhythm while a strip of light from a nearby storefront pools across the floor. Inside, small jars of vibrant alcohol ink wait like bottled auroras. In an hour you'll coax color into glass, learn a few controlled spills and blow techniques, and assemble a battery-lit frame that makes pigment hum.

Estes Park sits as the human gateway to the high Rockies—granite ridges and glacial valleys shaped the town’s arrival as a summer destination in the late 19th century. The Historic Park Theatre anchors the downtown block; the Riverwalk follows Fall River and creates the public spine where several small studios and galleries show Colorado-inspired work.
This class is practical and hands-on: instructors supply 16 inks, tools, lights and a frame; no prior art experience required. Expect a demonstration, guided practice, and a brief assembly period to fit LEDs into your finished piece. The session runs 60 minutes, is stroller- and wheelchair-accessible, and is suitable for families—infants sit on laps. Alcohol inks dry quickly, so allow a few extra minutes if you want to tweak details.
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to pick your reference image and set up. Wear clothes you don’t mind staining and bring a flat carrier to transport the boxed light home. After class, a short walk along the Riverwalk or a coffee at a nearby café makes for an easy, scenic cooldown before heading into Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park.
