All of my curated events will be free. The first workshop will be on Saturday, April 23 at the Terra Nova Rural Park in Richmond, BC. This will be part of the city park’s “Earth Week” event series.
The 3 hours workshop will focus on the fundamental technique of creating ink from foraged plant material. Participants are encouraged to bring their own plant specimens such as garden flowers of roses, elderberry leaf, willow stem, salmon berry, etc. Or food scrap materials like beet, onion skin, blueberry, butterfly pea tea, and spinach. Please avoid acidic materials like cedar, pine, yew, coffee, citrus, etc.
The workshop will begin with a 15 minutes walking tour of the Terra Nova Rural Park to identify indigenous and invasive plants of the lower mainland. Please bring shoes and clothes that are fitting for the April shower climate.
Please bring your own pruning tool or scissor, and small glass or plastic jars to take home your own plant-based ink.
Limited to 10 participants!
