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.” The Ink Spots program includes a public presentation (Monday, October 20,2025), a workshop (Sunday, November 9,2025), and an art show (January 2026, dates to be finalized) featuring various artists using these homemade inks. The workshop and art show will be posted as separate events
