Before the workshop, you receive a guide from workshop leader Jason Logan to take along as you go on a foraging walk to search for ink materials. Then get hands-on in the studio to transform what you gathered into rich, colorful inks, creating place-based art materials that celebrate the stories of where they were found.

Young wizards, who must be accompanied by an adult, learn what paint and ink are made of and how to create a rainbow of colors and textures from beets.
