Plants made into dyes, inks and paints

Artist Nabil Ali the author of 'Gold From Newton's Apple Tree ', leads an organic paint workshop.

You will explore methods and techniques using dried leaves, berries, galls, wood, and other organic materials and experience the making processes with documented recipes from historical manuscripts and ancient sources.

This will equip you with the tools needed to establish your own paint systems, using plants growing in your own garden as an artistic medium, and connect with nature to better understand your own creative work.

You will also have privileged access to Nabil’s organic paint recipe archive, detailing in-depth recipe insights into the practical foundations for paint-making using common and unusual plants.
