connect & create: Botanical Ink Creations

Come along for a hands-on, nature-inspired creative session where we connect with one another through nature crafts and skill-sharing

Join us for a relaxed, hands-on workshop exploring natural colour, creativity, and shared making. This session is an invitation to slow down, work with your hands, and connect with others through simple, nature-based creative processes.

During the workshop, we’ll explore how to make botanical inks and watercolours using natural materials available this season, and experiment with them through painting, writing, and simple printing techniques. The focus is practical and exploratory, you’ll learn by doing, with space to test, observe, and play. Guidance is always there when needed.

This workshop is open to all and designed to be welcoming and accessible, whether you’re new to creative practice or looking to deepen an existing interest.

What to expect:

• 🍃 Learning how to make your own botanical ink and natural watercolours
• 🎨 Playful experimenting with seasonal natural materials
• 🖌️ Guidance through botanical drawing techniques
• 🙏 Community vibes and opportunities to connect
• 😌 Gentle invitations into mindful crafting and creative practices

You’ll leave with your own botanical creations, plus ideas and techniques you can continue exploring with seasonal natural materials.

All materials are provided, and no prior experience is needed.
