Seasonal Workshops
Teaching and facilitation have been a core part of my practice for 20 years. Following the completion of my PGCE with Distinction in post16 education and Art History and Contextual Studies in 2006, I have worked in a wide variety of education, community and healthcare contexts. The tending of personal and collective care and awareness has been at the forefront of this, and for the last 12 years, this focus has been on the relationship to outer landscapes as well as inner, and the meeting and merging of the two.
As part of The NATURAL INK. Project, in-person and online workshops on botanical ink and earth pigment paint making have been running since early 2020.
Hosted in community settings such as Glasbren CIC, Embercombe, Buddhafield Festival, Colby Woodland Gardens, The Green Scythe Fair, Dove Studios, These Two Hands, and online with We Are Stardust,Plants and Colour, alongside self-led workshops in person and online through The NATURAL INK. Guide.

Green Scythe Fair, 2022-2024
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.
