Workshop | Ink Making – Botanical Basics with Annie Hogg
In this 2 hour workshop we will meander through
-ethical and safe wild harvesting.
-propagation and growing techniques for some useful native and non-native historical dye plants.
-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 a look at further benefits of pH tweaking.
-storage and preservation of our inks.
-note keeping ideas, the pedantic way!
-paper and fixatives which I have found useful.
A recording of our live workshop will also be sent out as a downloadable recording and a short recap video which includes a list of further reading/information sources. Participants receive a list of easy to assemble bits and bobs before the workshop date.
This live online workshop will be facilitated through the online platform Zoom.
