The Art of Ink Making: A Palette From Plants
Craft
Workshop
Adults only
Event organiser:
NorthLight Arts Centre

Northlight Arts Centre and Old Mill Arts bring you inspiring workshops that explore the hidden profundity of hand making creative materials. Through practising and sharing these age old crafts, we hope to remember parts of ourselves eclipsed by mass production, and to celebrate the rich history of the handmade arts. 

In the workshop Palette from Plants students will be guided through the various stages of working with plants to create colourful inks. There is a remarkable variety of colours that are possible from the world around us and during the workshop there will be demonstrations of how to modify colours to achieve a further spectrum of results. Working with a selection of plant sources, both foraged and grown, we will look at how the colours from plants were used historically with plenty of pre made colours to experience throughout the day.
