This is a fun activity in Camberwell, London

Join this botanical ink painting exploration class in South London and develop your skills with coloured ink work inspired by the natural world. This recurring workshop is a great opportunity to use ecologically produced ink in your own creative work.

In this relaxed and friendly activity, you will be guided by natural dye and cyanotype artist and textiles printmaker, Zoe Burt. You will learn about a variety of colours that can be extracted from plants, there history and symbolism. Through observation drawing and curated prompts you will explore traditional ink drawing, experimenting with the unique properties of natural inks and modifiers.

This workshop takes place in the Remakery's new lab space – a perfect setting for this creative process. After attending a session, you can even book the equipment yourself to continue making your own beautiful natural inks.

What you make in the session is up to you, you can bring your own sketchbook for studies, or develop bigger works.

Ticket Types;
The Remakery is committed to making Eco Craft practices available to everyone. We offer a subsidised ticket for most of our classes, particularly aimed at unwaged, under 25 or financially disadvantaged members of our community.
Our ‘True Cost Ticket’ reflects the prep time involved in running a eco-craft course and the cost of keeping a space like the Remakery open.
The ‘Pay it forward’ ticket includes a donation towards the upkeep of our communal rooms and the continuation of our community programme.
Due to the high demand for our basket making classes, we do not offer any refunds or cancellations on these tickets.

Zoe was super lovely and friendly, and shared her knowledge with us, and answered all questions. She even pointed us to resources for further information. She told us how to gather, prepare, and create each dye, and we could paint them onto paper to see how they changed colour as they dried. She also told and showed us how to create acidic and alkaline solutions and what happens when you paint them onto top of the dried dye. Overall I loved the hands-on nature of the workshop, blended with theory. Zoe was excellent.
