About this Event
A Tulsa LitFest event!
In the modern age, ink itself is not something many writers think about until it comes time to print their work. However, before the advent of computers and typewriters, most authors wrote by hand, and they often did so with ink.
In this interdisciplinary workshop blending visual art and writing, you’ll learn how to make natural pigments and inks from flowers, rocks, and bones, then experiment with the colors you create. Working with pigments from around the world, we’ll consider color as both material and metaphor. and explore approaches to writing that collaborate with the world through all the senses—not only the mind.
***This workshop is limited to 12 participants due to materials. A $1 registration fee will be required to guarantee your spot in this workshop.
Tulsa LitFest is sponsored by the Center for Poets and Writers, Tri City Collective, and Magic City Books.
