Julie Cargill, Alcohol Ink Artist

Julie Cargill with Ink Out Loud Studio is an alcohol ink painter living in Elkton, MD. Fairly new to the medium, Julie discovered alcohol ink about two years ago after taking a class at The Palette & The Page. It was love at first stroke! Julie enjoys the challenge of the unpredictable nature of alcohol ink and has honed her signature style using unusual tools such as coffee stir sticks, a toothbrush, cotton swabs and canned air!

John Cargill, Woodturning Artist

John started dabbling in woodworking in the late 1990’s while living in North Carolina, making picture frames and small furniture projects for himself, family and friends. After falling in love with the hobby he quickly acquired a workshop full of tools and started challenging himself with larger projects like clocks, wine racks and tables. He has always been drawn to the natural beauty in wood and specialized in natural edge, rustic slab wood pieces before it was the trend. After moving to Cecil County in 2006, John took a wood turning class at a local woodworking store and fell in love with the process. John’s woodworking skill set is extremely diverse and includes everything from pens, bottle stoppers, bowls and platters to lamps, furniture and more.
