Coming Soon!
Cornish Inks is a small, women-owned business in the heart of Cornwall. We roam the landscape, undertaking sustainable foraging practices to create beautiful handmade inks for drawing and printmaking. Between us, we have many years of experience making and working with botanical inks. Each set of inks we make is site-specific and made in small batches - so they are utterly unique and very limited edition! On this website, we share our practices with you, and you can purchase your own site-specific inks to make beautiful projects of your own.
Meet the Founders
Elizabeth Tomos and Jennifer Nunez
Elizabeth has been an artist for over 15 years. A long-time climate activist, the wasteful and unsustainable nature of printmaking didn’t sit well with her, which set her on a path to making her own inks. Jennifer is her partner, in life and in the studio. Jennifer loves photography and gathering rocks on the beach!

Sarah has worked with polyester resin and acrylics to create sculptures, drawings and prints for many years, recording and remembering encounters with her homeland and the sea. But a recent decision to reject plastic use as much as possible in her art has led her to explore the processes of ink and paint making, processes which are now inspiring and guiding her art practice.
