The Workshop
Using a selection of plants alongside locally foraged materials, you’ll learn how to prepare and extract vibrant natural inks.
Throughout the day, you’ll experiment with colour modifiers that transform and extend your ink palette, unlocking subtle variations and surprising hues. You’ll also explore different mark-making techniques - practicing drawing and painting with brushes and tools crafted from natural materials.
Whether you’re new to natural dyes or have some experience, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive environment to deepen your understanding of botanical inks, build practical skills and create your own unique artworks.
Tickets include lunch and all materials!!
