Make and Experiment with Natural Inks

From vibrant turmeric and blue butterfly pea flower to indigo, you’ll discover the surprising range of possibilities these materials offer while creating your own artwork.

The session will begin with a demonstration of how simple ingredients can be used to make natural inks, followed by the opportunity to make a couple of your own while exploring a selection of ready-made inks.
You’ll then choose from a range of short creative projects including abstract painting, flowers, landscapes or illuminated letters.

Reference images will be provided for the flower and landscape projects, while the abstract and lettering projects offer more freedom to develop your own ideas.

You’ll be encouraged to experiment with the inks throughout the session, exploring different approaches to mark-making and developing your chosen project in your own style.

This workshop is suitable for ages 18+.
