Come explore and experience the natural world in an artistic adventure of painting with wild inks.
In this workshop we will learn the process of creating wild inks with plants and natural material, take inspiration from the amazing scenery at Seymour Conservation Area — and discover the pink, yellow, green and purples hiding in plain sight. Participants will create their own “Wild Inklings” take-home art.
This workshop is led by Kate Hayday from Maker’s Dozen. From participating in local artisan markets and shops, developing apps, designing and producing maker kits, running workshops, foraging, writing articles, giving talks, and leading walks. You can usually find her trying out a new craft, following animal tracks in the woods, or otherwise happily juggling eleventy-one projects at once
