Creating Inks from Natural Materials with Marjorie Morgan

Designed for monotype and monoprint printmakers, this event combines art making with cooking and environmentalism as it shows the dynamic nature of working with natural inks. In this Demo/Workshop, Marjorie Morgan will discuss the advantages of creating natural inks, show images of artwork, and then demonstrate how to create inks, prepare plates and print with them. The demonstration will include how to create two different inks at home, and how to print with them using a press, a pasta roller, or no press at all.

Marjorie Morgan is a painter and printmaker who grew up in Vermont and currently lives and works in Western Massachusetts. A member of The Oxbow Gallery and Zea Mays Printmaking, she has been completely captivated by the practice of making her own inks and pigments and using them in drawing, painting and printmaking.
