Latitude is hosting a Natural Ink Workshop with our March Artist in Residence, Mara Baker, on March 31st from 6:30-7:30 pm. Mara Baker is an interdisciplinary artist who combines traditional natural inks and dyes, found materials, animation, light, and video to create multi-dimensional installations and paintings. The workshop will begin with Mara presenting her research and newest body of work created at Latitude, which highlights the possibilities of finding new ways to use technology in the lab. Directly following her presentation there will be a hands-on demonstration creating natural inks that participants can take home to experiment with. The workshop aims to encourage folks to think about alternative methods to use the equipment in the lab.
