Nature's Gift
My second morning was spent at the farm, creating a palette of natural pigments under the expert guidance of Ter, a teacher at the farm. Our aim: only make things with ingredients found on site, including bamboo charcoal, pea flowers, Clerodendrum glandulosum, impatiens, and more. A process of looking, sensing, noticing, gathering, naming, researching, processing, testing, failing, and trying again set the tone for my first week.
