Workshop Description: For as long as people have been around, people have been using materials from their environment as pigments for crafty projects. In this class we’ll use tea light candles to generate soot for use as pigment in a traditional water-based carbon black ink. This ink can be used for writing, drawing, or painting. After making the ink, we’ll have pens and brushes available to experiment with different techniques and recipes. Each student will take home a small container of fresh ink and a new knowledge of natural pigments!

Instructor Bio: Jess is a part-time artist living full-time in Moab. For the past few years she’s been working on developing cheap, accessible methods for at-home intaglio printmaking with DIY art supplies and tools made from reclaimed/recycled materials. She brought her wonky printmaking setup outside last year as the 2023 community artist in the parks, making new projects inspired by the southeast Utah landscape and giving demos in our local national parks. This year she's working on developing new recycled papermaking tools and ink to combine with the handmade print process.
