Color from Nature: Botanical Ink Workshop

February 9 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm

Make your own ink for drawing and fine writing from natural materials using plants growing in our green spaces and simple ingredients found in your kitchen! Bottle experiences of connection with natural places and experiment with your own plant-based ink in this workshop. You will leave this workshop with a bottle of your own handmade botanical ink; a reference zine on ink making; a collection of your own drawings and ink samples; and knowledge to create your own collection of natural inks from homegrown and foraged botanicals. All ink making tools and botanical supplies will be provided.
