Natural Ink Making

From plants to print: create beautiful, sustainable inks by hand

4 hr
40 British pounds
Gorgie Road

Service Description

Discover the art and science of making ink from nature in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop. You’ll explore how plants, minerals, and everyday natural materials can be transformed into rich, usable inks using simple, traditional methods. Participants will learn about color extraction, basic ink chemistry, and how different ingredients affect tone and texture. You’ll make several small batches of natural ink, experiment with writing and mark-making tools, and leave with samples to take home. This class is perfect for artists, writers, educators, and anyone curious about sustainable, low-impact creative practices. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.



Cancellation Policy

I do try my best to price workshops fairly and offer good value for money. I do appreciate that sometimes-unforeseen circumstances may mean that you can’t attend a workshop so I can offer a full refund if cancelled 7 days before the workshop date.
