Come and play in this fun, hands-on mark-making workshop! Discover a freer, more instinctive approach to creative expression using materials gathered straight from the landscape.
You’ll craft your own mark-making tools from natural finds—sticks, grasses, seed heads, leaves, and bark—then dip them in ink to see what kind of marks they make.
Working with Indian ink and natural pigments, you’ll play with line, texture, rhythm, and gesture, letting each tool’s quirks guide your hand. Loosen up, follow your instincts, and tap into the energy of the natural world around you.
No drawing skills required, no “talent” needed—just bring your curiosity! This is all about the joy of making, not the pressure of a perfect result. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker, it’s a playful, hands-on way to connect with the landscape through touch, movement, and material exploration.
All materials included.
