Natural Inks from your Backyard and Kitchen

This class will introduce students to the exciting world of making handmade inks. This creative learning experience combines artistry with science and environmentalism as we discover how different natural items transform from living matter into art ink. Students will learn how to make their own, unique inks from a variety of materials and then use them in creating small paintings.
