Gather plants and urban detritus (like rust!) from the surrounding landscape to make beautiful dyes-bright magenta pokeweed, dark black walnut, and rich purple wild grape. In the first online session, artist and founder of the Toronto Ink Company Jason Logan will teach you which organic and non-organic materials work best and where to look for them. In the second session, you’ll mix, test, and transform what you’ve foraged into rich, vibrant inks using simple household ingredients. Jason S. Logan is a Toronto-based creative director and strategic graphic designer. Recent projects include branding, identity and creative direction for Horses Atelier, a smell map for the The New York Times and Creative Direction for Rogers Publishing. Logan is also the author of several books and the founder of the Toronto Ink Company. In 2014 he led the CDTO campaign an initiative to build an Office of Creative Direction for the City of Toronto.
