Botanical Inks and Pigments Workshop

Learn to make your own ink and paints from native plants and kitchen waste!

In this workshop you will learn a variety of techniques to transform your artist’s palette from synthetics and plastics, to a celebration of the world of plants. We will learn to make ink from a variety of native and kitchen plants, and combine pigments with watercolour medium to create a paint. We will also experiment with chemical reactions to make a full rainbow of colours. You will finish the day with a full sketchbook of experiments, as well as a final painting.
