Exhibits & Events

Make your own drawing ink from natural materials using plants growing in our green spaces and simple ingredients found in your kitchen! Bottle experiences of connection with natural places and experiment with your own plant-based ink in this workshop. You will leave this workshop with a bottle of your own handmade botanical ink; a reference zine on ink making; a collection of your own drawings and ink samples; and knowledge to create your own collection of natural inks from homegrown and foraged botanicals. All ink making tools and botanical supplies will be provided.

Instructor Nicole Duprée is a teaching artist and founder of Indigo in Green--a Mt. Airy-based creative workshop producing artisanal, natural art supplies and educational resources. You can find botanical inks made by Nicole in the museum shop at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and in the Welcome Center at Bartram's Garden.
