Ink in Nature

An introduction into botanical ink making, alchemy  and experimental mark making. Learn the ancient process of making oak gall ink and the colours hidden in the natural world around us. We will make our own bamboo quills and experiment with different mark making and drawing techniques using the inks we have made. All materials are included and you will leave with your own bottle of ink and booklet of drawings. This workshop is suitable for everyone who is curious to learn! Refreshments are included with lunch available to purchase from Potager cafe.

‘This was more than just a drawing workshop. I have come away feeling refreshed and empowered with a deeper sense of the colours hidden in the natural me’ - Sally
