FACILITATOR

Hello, my name is Cherése De Gasperi. I find my artistic inspiration in the intricate beauty of nature. My journey revolves around transforming flowers and plants into vibrant ink and pigments. What truly captivates me in this process is the delightful element of surprise inherent in working with botanicals and their myriad hues. It's a journey where the colours are never quite what they initially appear to be. Each bloom I work with tells its own story, creating a palette that dances between the lines of expectation and enchantment. Join me in the fascinating world of botanical ink-making, where the magic of nature meets the artistry of human expression.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We'll start the day with a basic history of botanical inks

Thereafter each participant will create their own ink using dried flower petals which will be provided

After the ink is ready, you will receive paper to create your own artworks.
