Wild Dot is a botanical inkmaking studio that has been exploring the colour palettes of various sites in Singapore since 2019. Our practice with natural colours is grounded in our personal desires to connect with our land through making with our hands, and collaborating with like-minded communities to explore the stories behind the colours we find and create.
We share our values and creative process through holding workshops, talks, community art programmes and exhibitions, as well as curating educational painting kits, made locally with plants found in Singapore.
Activation of interactive and educational spaces
Hosting outdoor colour noticing and making sessions
Our current material research includes the following areas:
Painting kits made with natural pigments.
Paints suitable for other surfaces. Mediums we have worked with: wood, unfired clay, wall, paper.
If you are keen to introduce natural colours into your school, workplace, or for your own personal practice, we offer meaningful experiential sessions that may be curated with your familiar neighbourhood, community-managed wilder gardens, or in our own studio.
Learn how to notice colours and their plant-iful origins, experience their stories of becoming, and be invited to make your own palettes.
We update our newsletter every month with little creative inspirations and reflections from our making experiments.
For those who are keen to work with natural material more consistently in your own practices, we also run a study group. We organize monthly events and sharings in a small Telegram group for people to connect and learn with each other.
