Learn to make your own natural paints and inks using plant and earth pigments! During this 3 hour workshop you will discover how to use natural pigments for use on paper, canvas, wood and fabric.
Make your own watercolour paint using earth and plant pigments
Make a lake pigment from a dye bath
Make natural inks using dye plants & extracts
Use pH modifiers to create new colours
Grind and blend paints with a binder
Make your own binders
Use a glass muller and slab
You will go home with your own handmade watercolour pallet and natural inks, plus recipes to continue your paint making with plants from your own kitchen and garden.
We will have an intimate group with a maximum of 10 participants.
Note: This workshop is about how to make paint, not how to paint, so although we will have plenty of free painting time, Katie will not be instructing painting techniques. You can apply your own knowledge or just have fun playing.
Workshop tickets are non-refundable. In the event that you cannot attend on the day we are happy to transfer your booking to a friend or family member. Thank you for your understanding!
