Colourful Inks from Plants, at ALLENDALE FORGE STUDIOS - 23rd May
Make colourful inks from plants that can be grown or foraged locally.
Iris green, madder red, indigo blue, weld yellow, and many many more.
Over the course of this workshop, you will be introduced to making inks from plants found both from within the UK, and from sources further afield. The day will begin with the basics of how to make ink. You will then be shown examples of plants that can be used and the inks or paints that have been made using them. We will also look at the different ways inks can be modified to increase the range of colours available.
By the end of the day, you will have made and had the chance to experiment with a wide range of homemade plant inks and been a part of making plants inks from scratch. You will take home several inks, colour samples and comprehensive notes on how to make inks at home.
You will also learn which inks are more light-fast and how to use plant inks with light-fastness in mind.
Suitable for complete beginners or those with some experience, wanting to develop skills with working with plants.
