Celebrate nature at Evergreen Brick Works on Sunday April 13 by joining our introductory ink making workshop. In this 90 min workshop we'll explore the art of sketching with inks crafted in collaboration with nature. The focus will be on sharing knowledge about ink recipes and practicing the Honorable Harvest. Participants will have the opportunity to paint with a diverse range of inks, including Acorn-cap, Black Walnut, Wild Grape, Buckthorn, kitchen scraps, and pantry spices. We will also learn how to decorate eggs with leaf imprints and onion skins.Note: start collecting onion skins when cooking, to make your own ink experiments this spring.*To ensure this opportunity remains accessible to everyone, we have a limited number of free accessible tickets available.

In her current art practice, Alexandra is developing Grounded Sculptures, a series of site-specific ephemeral installations using natural materials, seeds and wild clay. Exhibiting themes of transformation and endurance, the sculptures will deconstruct, eventually disappearing.Alexandra’s belief in the power of making and creating is often executed in the context of community where she has received multiple grants to support projects across many diverse neighbourhoods. She involves the community in slow artmaking experiences, inspiring participants to form connections with the land where they live, before they are invited to explore materials and co-create.Instagram@clayisalive @more.than.cutewebsite: <a href="https://alexandraiorgu.com/" title="https://alexandraiorgu.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://alexandraiorgu.com</a>
