Wild Colour, Ink Making with Annie Robinson
May 18 @ 9:00 pm PDT
$10
About the Workshop
In a workshop full of play and connection to place, participants will work with wild colour sources to make ink. No art experience is required, only curious minds. We will explore colour sources from food waste, foraged botanicals, and metals. Together, we will discover the palette of Wells, contemplate the storylines of specific colour sources, and inspire a land-based approach to artmaking.
This workshop is all ages and will require an adult to be with younger participants as we will be working over a stove.
“Color is a playground where science and magic meet.” -Jason Logan, Toronto Ink Company
About the Artist
Annie Robinson is a land-based painter and art therapist who makes her own materials out of foraged and natural color sources. Annie’s painting expresses landscape, a sense of place, and embodiment; she paints out on the land using ingredients from the surrounding place and her garden. This includes indigo dyeing and making inks and paints from wild pigments found in the earth, botanicals, and metals left from decaying industry. Annie’s personal art practice and practice in art therapy intertwine through the use of material, connection to the land, and her fellow artmakers in qathet, BC, the territory of the Tla’amin People.
