Instructor: Carol Reed
Skill Level: Beginner
Create ink using plants and iron. We’ll create two inks, one gray/black from nuts or sumac and iron and a clear yellow from marigolds or turmeric. While the ink is cooking, you’ll create a sketchbook with drawings and watercolor paper to practice your penmanship with when the ink is ready. And we’ll make string using naturally dyed beads and cotton cloth. Participants will leave with two bottles of ink, a calligraphy pen (pen holder and nib), and a 4” x 6” sketchbook they created.
Appropriate for: Teen to adult
A materials fee of $10 is due to the instructor at the start of the class.
Please wear old clothes.
