Foraging, botanical watercolor making and plant drawing

Over dit evenement

Join botanical artist and plant crafter Ina Salarich in this workshop to forage plants from her beautiful herb dye garden and turn them into a full watercolour palette. We'll use foraged leaves, flowers and other plant parts following 4 different methods, and enjoy a garden painting session at the end, with the watercolour we have made.

About your host:
Ina Salarich is a visual creator oscillating between graphic design, arts and crafts and teaching. Wild plants are a special inspiration to her, as she draws them in the wild, harvests them, and makes medicine, teas, pigments and dyes from them. Her beautiful garden, where the workshop takes place, is a mixture of wild and tamed with an area for dye plants, medicinal plants, vegetables and flowers for pollinators.
