Friday Art Challenge: Inks from Foraged & Found Materials

c.l. bigelow teaches students how to make beautiful inks out of foraged and found materials. Every participant will learn the basics of foraging and how to make inks from said materials. You will take home two different colours of ink.

NOTE: you will NOT be foraging in this class. The teaching artist will bring foraged materials. Students  will learn how to make ink from everyday materials. Some example materials are pink from avocado, yellow from onion skins, and warm browns from walnuts. These are only a few examples of what can be made! Students will learn which materials make a good ink and which do not, and how to play with modifying colours by changing the PH.

Please wear an apron or clothing that you can get stained, and nitrile or latex gloves, to avoid stained hands. All materials provided.
