Come and join local artist, Greg Chiykowski, (https://artbygreg.weebly.com/) as he continues his deeper examination into the thrills of making your own inks. This year’s program, “Ink Spots: Making Ink from Compost” builds on the successes of last year’s program “Ink Spots of Richmond Hill: Making Ink from Locally Foraged Materials.” This year the Ink Spots program includes a public presentation (Monday, October 6, 2025), a workshop (Sunday, October 26, 2025), and an art show (January 2026, dates to be finalized) featuring various artists using these homemade inks.
