Testimonials
“A great day spent diving into the art of natural ink-making. Karn is an amazing guide and holds a gentle space to explore foraging and making ink. A generous day filled with play and insight allowing you to explore and connect.”
— Kirsty, NATURAL INK. Colour Community 2023.“I enjoyed the seasonal colour workshop with Karn so much! I loved spending the day playing and getting to know Hawthorn and how different modifiers (like copper and rust!) worked with the plant. Karn is warm, friendly and welcoming, leading the session and guiding us, while giving space to let the process and play take the lead. Really recommend Karn's workshops if you're interested in natural colour and ink-making with the seasons.”
— Malou - NATURAL INK. Colour Community 2023“I'm so pleased to work with Karn as my mentor. Their thoughtful questions, suggestions and guidance are a great support for me as I experiment and seek my own path in art making and facilitation.”
