Natural Ink Making Workshop

Severn Gorge Countryside Trust

Gather bark and berries from the woods and brew them into beautiful natural inks.

Outdoor Learning Programme

All the events in the 2025/26 Outdoor Learning Programme aim to engage people with their local environment, through a variety of walks, workshops and talks.

Gather bark and berries from the woods and brew them into beautiful natural inks. Modifiers such as iron water and ash will change the colours creating a new palette. Using twigs and pods as well as brushes, explore the colours you have created with free drawing and mark-making.Workshop Tutor: Sophie WoodhouseI have a B.A. and M.A. in arts and have taught and lectured in art and craft for around 25 years. I am most interested in the connection between art and nature, sketching directly from the natural world and using natural history as the inspiration for printmaking and design. I believe that studying the landscape, flora and fauna about us, we can heal ourselves and be moved to protect nature. Above all, art can be sociable, playful and experimental.
