PLANTS INKS
INGREDIENTS OF FRENCH NATURAL ORIGIN
Discover how to make plant inks from the wild plant and food world.
Combine a love of nature with that of drawing or writing by making plant ink. It’s combining the pleasure of conscious picking with that of creativity and curiosity about natural dyes. It's letting yourself be surprised by the sight of the most astonishing chemical reactions and letting yourself be guided by natural nuances.
This workshop is intended for people who want to create with what nature offers them. It will allow you to identify the type of organic molecules sought, which are more commonly called dyes, specific to each plant, to obtain the desired color. Using local plants and bio-waste, you will discover the different techniques for extracting dyes, how to provide a natural binder to thicken your ink and strengthen its hold, as well as methods to extend the conservation time somewhat.
A workshop for artists who wish to collaborate with nature by adopting an ecological and responsible approach, for lovers of the Living, for those who wish to give free rein to their creativity, to design workshops with their children in the most natural and awaken their senses, for writers who wish to create plant poetry... so many possibilities are available to you. You will leave with your paper creations and three inks in a bottle.
