I produce all my own water-based, screen and relief printing inks from botanicals. This involves foraging for and growing dye plants. Then through a process of filtration and reduction, I can create colour pastes which can then be suspended in printmaking mediums. I also hand-make all my printmaking mediums from natural materials. I run workshops on how to do this process and if you are interested please reach out through my contact form. You can see these inks in use with workshop participants below.
