Workshop | Botanical Ink Making from Foraged Plants with Annie Hogg

In this 2 hour workshop we will meander through

– Ethical and safe wild harvesting and propagation and growing techniques for some useful historical dye plants.

– Several methods of colour extraction from common hedgerow plants including recipes for natural local binders to create a closed loop in the production of our inks.

– pH shifting techniques to expand the colour potential and take a look at further benefits of pH tweaking.

– Storage and preservation of our inks.

– Note keeping ideas, the pedantic way!

This live workshop will be available as a downloadable recording and is sent out with a short recap video which includes a list of further reading/information sources. Participants receive a list of easy to assemble bits and bobs a week before the workshop date.
