SOIL: SOMERSET HOUSE

botanical inks

Find Botanical Inks natural dyed goods in the SOIL Exhibition marketplace at Somerset House, Embankment, London.

We are thrilled to be commissioned by Somerset House, to provide a range of soil-to-soil products, using local, organic and 100% biodegradable materials and packaging. To compliment the “SOIL: The World At Our Feet” Exhibition.

All items are packaged in 100% biodegradable materials and we are proud to say that all printed swing tags, labels and printing uses our in house 100% natural plant inks, hand printed with natural rubber stamps. To complete the soil-to-soil cycle of each product. Meaning the whole package and contents can be safely returned to the soil as biological nutrients at teh end of their “useful” lifecycle.

We see plant inks as the future of honest biological- materials based sustainable packaging and merchandising.

To celebrate World Soil Day, Somerset House announces new artists, additional details of contributing works, new digital programme, and an expansive public programme as part of its landmark exhibition, SOIL: The World at Our Feet, which opens on 23 January 2025 in the Embankment Galleries. Inviting the audience to think about soil as much more than just dirt, this exhibition seeks to unlock the secrets of soil, emphasising how it is the priceless foundation of all life on Earth, and celebrating the everyday encounters that most of us don’t typically realise come from the soil.  

This exhibition will also mark the launch of Somerset House at 25 – a milestone year as we mark our coming of age as the home of cultural innovators. 

SOIL is co-curated by The Land Gardeners, Henrietta Courtauld and Bridget Elworthy; curator and writer May Rosenthal Sloan and Claire Catterall, Senior Curator at Somerset House.  

Bringing together thinkers, filmmakers, global and local artists, scientists and activists, SOIL is presented across three main sections: Life Below Ground, Life Above Ground and Hope. Topics around climate change, waste, land, justice, coupled with beauty and wonder, are all woven into the presented works and installations.
