WELCOME TO FORAGE
Studio and Gallery
STUDIO
Join a growing community of like minded artists using natural materials occurring in their unique environments.
Attend a workshop and explore the move towards a more sustainable studio practice, using botanical inks and natural plant pigments to make paints.
"I am deeply connected to my materials from source to final paint and ultimately to the artwork itself. I love the process and the gifts that I unlock from each plant, the vibrant, unexpected, unpredictable colours and the playful exploration of the creative process. More than anything, I revel in the joyful discovery and endless possibilities that these natural materials offer." - Nikki Miles
