Exploring plant based inks with Tania Love
This workshop offers an introduction to working with plant based inks. Participants will have the opportunity to forage for botanicals on Chetwyn Farms for use in ink making recipes. Additionally we’ll explore the possible modulations of colour using mordants.
Everyone will have the chance to experiment with the inks on paper, create a hand painted linen tea towel and take home an ink pot.
Bring your curiosity and gather in good company.
