Discover the hidden color in plants and earth in this two-part workshop to create your own watercolor paints using pigments made from locally grown plant materials, clay, and charcoal. Together we will transform natural dyes into lake pigments, create our own natural binders and preservatives, and mull pigment into vibrant, custom, handcrafted watercolor paint. Each participant will leave with: A deeper understanding of natural pigment processes. A handcrafted watercolor palette made from local earth and botanical sources. Skills to continue pigment and paint making on your own. This workshop is ideal for artists, plant lovers, and anyone curious about making art more connected to natural places and processes.
