Garden Impressions: Monoprinting with Natural & Non-Toxic Inks

Date: Thursday 14th August

Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Location: Kilgraney House Gallery,Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. R21W527

Workshop Description:

Join us for a relaxed and creative morning in the beautiful Kilgraney House garden, where plants, light, and texture inspire a hands-on exploration of monoprinting using natural and non-toxic inks.

Participants will experiment with simple, printmaking methods to create unique monoprints using:

• Non-toxic water-based printing inks, and
• Plant-based inks made from garden materials.

We’ll explore layering, direct printing from natural textures, and spontaneous mark-making. You'll also learn how to make your own botanical inks through a live demonstration using seasonal plants foraged from the Kilgraney grounds.

All experience levels are welcome. This is a mindful, nature-connected session in a beautiful setting, with tea, coffee, and homemade scones served mid-morning.
