🌱SPRING INK 🌱
A new workshop hosted by and it sounds like the most wonderful day!
She says...
“As the Spring begins to emerge let us meet and make ink.
Come along and learn how to make natural, non-toxic writing and drawing inks from seasonal plants, kitchen compost and found metals. For the sheer, unadulterated, and delightful alchemy of it!
Immerse in the sensory, sacred and slow world of making your own botanical ink, and explore using them on paper. We will be learning about the properties of the plants around us, looking anew at some common favourites and bringing fresh eyes to the blossoming spring. A relaxed and elemental exploring.
A warm welcome to all experience levels.
You may be a long time maker and artist looking to bring more nature based and sustainable materials into your practice, or a nature loving and art-curious person looking to try something new.
🌿With full permission to make a mess and get stuck in.🌿
You will leave with a collection of handmade art materials, ink tests and adventures on paper and the skills to carry on at home.
£95 / £85
