You will be guided through the process of making your own plant tannin ink, painting your own medicine bag or flag, then transforming the ink in a mineral rich iron bath to cure your design. You can paint symbols of space, your zodiac signs, talismans, or any images that speak to you. Each student will go home with their own hand painted item and the knowledge of how to repeat the process at home. All supplies are provided, class is 2 hours long.
