Tutors: Emma Cowan and Sarah Nicholson.
In this hands-on workshop from Wild Studio, you will discover the wide possibilities for making your own art supplies from plants. You will come away with a variety of art materials that you have learned how to make, as well as the knowledge to continue with your own explorations and experiments at home.
First you'll learn to make artist's drawing charcoal sticks, discover which woods work well, how to prepare them, how to make a simple charcoal kiln, and how to make your charcoal smudge-proof!
Then you'll be guided through the process of making your own rich black inks for drawing, painting and lettering, and learn the different ways that these inks can be used.
