What is drawing? This workshop considers the question through explorations of media and mark-making. Participants will learn how to make oak gall Ink, also called iron gall Ink, a common writing and drawing media before pre-made inks became available. We will experiment with new ways to create marks, using the gall ink alongside more traditional drawing tools and media. No experience necessary, all levels and abilities are very welcome.
Participants are asked to bring in a small(ish) meaningful object to use as a reference. All other materials provided; participants are welcome to bring their own sketchbooks or other media to discuss or try out if they like.
