Join botanical artist and plant crafter Ina Salarich in this workshop to forage plants from her beautiful herb dye garden & beyond. Learn how to make watercolour and ink from foraged leaves, flowers and other plant parts following 4 different methods. With a little class on botanical drawing, we’ll finish by drawing plants in the garden with the inks we have made.
You will take a jar of liquid watercolour home + a How-To sheet so you can make your own inks at home with common wild plants and garden flowers.

About your host:
Ina Salarich is a visual creator oscillating between graphic design, arts and crafts and teaching. Wild plants are a special inspiration to her, as she draws them in the wild, harvests them, and makes tinctures, teas, pigments and dyes from them. Her beautiful garden, where the workshop takes place, is a mixture of wild and tamed with an area for dye plants, medicinal plants, vegetables and flowers for pollinators.
