Making ink is a very old and respected practice. Inks can be derived from many different pigmented materials that are natural and vibrant. The process can be a reconnection to the landscape we inhabit and an exploration of chemical and formal materials. In this 8 week course, we will meet online and several times outdoors to forage together and exchange materials and techniques that we have discovered in our ink making process. And as the weather gets colder, we will focus on using our inks in our drawings/art making.Creating one's own art materials is a journey in trial and error - a beautiful process to create art from!
