A 4-Day Immersive Workshop in Botanical Ink, Observation and Experimental Mark-Making

Wild Marks is an immersive studio and some field-based workshop exploring drawing as a direct conversation with the natural world. Over four days, participants will make botanical inks, experiment with organic mark-making tools, and develop observational and intuitive drawing practices in nature.

The workshop combines slow looking, material exploration, environmental awareness, and contemporary drawing approaches. Participants will work with handmade inks, masking fluid, found materials, and natural surfaces to create a body of experimental works and a personal documentary of their environment.

Suitable for artists, designers, illustrators, educators, and curious beginners interested in ecology, process, and material-led artmaking.

Open to adults (participants must by 16 years or older).
