Inkmaking Morning Workshop

The first workshop took place last Saturday on Earthweek weekend at the Terra Nova Rural Park in Richmond, BC. In partnership with Urban Bounty. I was very happy to be able to host the workshop since I had just recovered from Covid and still feeling fatigue. Big thank you to Ian Lai the ED of Urban Bounty whom greatly helped me throughout the event in setting up and taking down. He also gave me feedback as a professional educator on how to improve on my next workshop.
I also had the opportunity to be interviewed by Vikki from the Richmond News, here’s the link to the lovely article.

I brought my own stash of indigenous plant materials of British Columbia for the workshop.

Cerulean Elderberry, Salal, Mahonia Oregon Grapes, Red Elderberry Leaves, and coastal goldenrod.

Beautiful coastal goldenrod.
