Celebrate Botanic Garden Week and the theme of health and wellbeing in our gardens with a calming, creative experience in the heart of Kings Park. This hands-on workshop invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and explore the therapeutic benefits that botanical spaces offer to our communities.
Guided by Carly from Rivarossa Botanicals, you’ll be introduced to natural dye techniques including painting with petals as natural brushes and exploring the beauty of botanical inks. You’ll learn how to create your own natural inks using a variety of plants, and have time to play and experiment—creating expressive prints on paper using your handmade colours.
We’ll also explore the fascinating relationship between plants and chemistry, using simple household modifiers to shift pH levels and reveal the hidden spectrum of colours within each plant. This playful experimentation highlights the subtle magic of the natural world.
This workshop offers a gentle blend of creativity, science, and connection to place—an opportunity to unwind, learn, and create something truly unique while embracing the wellbeing benefits of nature.
