Colors of Land & Sea: Plant Ink Alchemy
with Iris Sullivan Daire Saturday, September 28, 2024 10:00AM - 1:30PM Barbey Maritime Center at the Columbia River Maritime Museum (located on the east end of the Museum's campus) From ship's logs to letters carried across the sea, ink has traveled with people for centuries. In this workshop we will render plants into ink and explore mark-making. Working with plant-based inks connects us to the past and to the land itself in tangible ways. We will make sea-blue ink from locally grown indigo pigment, brown ink from Sitka Spruce needles - a tree once used extensively in ship-building - and black Iron-Gall ink like that used historically for important papers of all kinds. Students will also have the chance to view historic documents from the Museum's archival collection. $90 Members, $115 Non-Members Class minimum 8, class maximum 16 OPEN FOR MEMBER REGISTRATION ONLY (*) |
