This is a hands-on experience where you'll learn how to make natural inks from the nuts and wood of native plants like hickory, oak, pine, and poke berries. You'll learn about the plant species the ingredients come from, how to identify them, and how to create the inks. You'll also see how natural pens are crafted, and explore writing with them using the inks. You'll leave with new skills, a handmade pen, and natural ink to take home.
