Over the next few months Krowji tenant Elizabeth Tomos will be hosting new workshops from their studio.
Introduction to Earth & Lake Pigments’ workshop
Saturday 21st February & Saturday 2nd May from 1-5pm
We will look at how you develop earth and lake pigments from botanicals in order to be able to make oil-based inks. We will work on grinding our own pigments and binding them into an oil-based medium. You will also get to experiment with oil-based relief printmaking using botanical materials and the inks you have created. You will be able to take your own handmade inks home!
Introduction to Botanical Inks & Dyes
Saturday 7th March & Saturday 18th April from 1-5pm
You will be introduced to methods for extracting colour from plant-based materials, including food waste as an approach to sustainable making practices. You will learn how to identify suitable plant matter for colour making and the difference between colour-fast and fugitive colour. You will be introduced to permaculture principles and how these should impact foraging and growing practices for dye plants. You will learn how to develop plant-based ink for water-based drawing practices and dyeing.
Venue: Elizabeth Tomos Studios, Unit G12, Krowji Ltd, West Park, Redruth, TR15 3AJ
