Inks and Ochres

with Daniel Docherty

A practical and participatory three-day introductory course for anyone wanting to develop a deeper relationship to ink and ochre. We will walk in the beautiful surrounds of Emerson College and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; we will reverently forage minerals and materials which we will transform – through various alchemical processes – into pigment, paint and ink. These endeavours will be accompanied by exercises in contemplative pattern making and nature inspired studies in various mediums including traditional watercolour and egg tempera.

​This course has been utter joy. Connecting Mother Earth’s gifts – to heavenly precision and motion …The facilitators a constant source of support and inspiration. I can thoroughly recommend this course. Jo – Spring 2023
