Natural Paints & Inks Workshop

Ever wondered how to turn plants and earth into vibrant paints and inks? Now’s your chance to discover the magic of making your own natural pigments, right from the comfort of your own creative space!

In this hands-on, 3-hour workshop, you’ll dive into the process of making watercolour paints, natural inks, and even lake pigments—all using natural materials. Whether you’re looking to add new colours to your art or just love getting creative with nature, you’ll leave with everything you need to continue the fun at home.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to make your own watercolour paints using earth and plant pigments

• Crafting lake pigments from a dye bath

• Creating natural inks with dye plants & extracts

• Using pH modifiers to experiment and create unique colours

• Grinding and blending paints with a binder (and how to make your own!)

• Using a glass muller and slab to perfect your paints

What You’ll Get:

• Your own handmade watercolour palette and natural inks to take home

• Recipes to help you continue making your own paints using plants from your kitchen or garden

• A beautiful, delicious grazing platter from The Pavilion (trust me, you’ll want to come hungry!)

• Wine, beer, coffee, and tea available for purchase 

Why You’ll Love It:

• Small, intimate group—maximum of 10 participants, so you’ll get all the attention you need!

• No painting experience needed! This workshop is about making the paints, not painting techniques—though we’ll have plenty of free painting time to explore and experiment.

• Tap into your creativity while learning a totally unique skill you can use over and over again.
