From Garden to Ink: Making Botanical Colour from Duchy Nursery
Join Emma and Jon from Princetown Press for an absorbing and inspirational morning learning how to make inks from plants.
During the session, we will be making ink from plants. The methods are as simple as boiling a potato, but the results are much more interesting! By the end of this session you will have learned the steps needed to make your own inks at home, including where to source materials, and tips for storage to improve the longevity of your homemade inks.
You will take home:
A small bottle of ink you've made during the workshop.
Handout including a basic ink-making recipe and information about our processes.
New ideas on how to engage with your garden, kitchen scraps, and nature.
Emma Hogbin and Jon Palmer own and run Princetown Press, where the focus is on sustainability.
