Color From Nature: Botanical Ink Workshop

Explore the Wyck to identify botanical sources for natural color and create plant-based ink to bottle sensory experiences of the season. Together, we'll deepen our connection with nature and experiment with shifting ink colors to build a custom palette for drawing, printmaking, and writing with dip pens and brushes. In this workshop, we'll work with natural materials collected by gardeners and horticulture specialists as part of their care and maintenance practices—optimizing growth of fruit bearing trees, supporting biodiversity, and tending to community green spaces that contribute to local food and environmental justice initiatives. You'll leave with a bottle of your own handcrafted ink, ink samples, drawings, and a reference zine to continue your exploration of botanical color.

$10 materials fee payable to the instructor.
