Harness the power of botanical plants when you join a botanical ink making workshop at the Blueway Art Studio. This hands-on beginners’ workshop is an excellent taster experience if you’d like to learn how to make plant-based sustainable inks.
Create your own natural, botanical ink using materials foraged from the local trees and plants. Forage for colour, learn how to forage sustainably, identify key plants for colour, how to start a dye garden and manage invasious native species such woad.
A growing interest in sustainability and natural materials has brought traditional ink-making skills back into the spotlight, reminding us that we can look to our local landscapes for resources as well as inspiration!
The majority of the ink-making workshop will take place outdoors at Blueway Art Studio, located in the band hall in the gorgeous village of Narraghmore.
It’s a beautiful experience to watch nature transform into something new in this fun and creative workshop.
