In this workshop we explore the foundations of making pigment, paint and pastels. We use foraged goodies such as stones, earth, clay, iron and shells that can be found locally or elsewhere in the UK, as well as looking at bought sustainable pigments.
There is a chance to take part in the processes of turning stones into a pigment and then into a water colour. There are opportunities to try out different types of stones, rocks and clays to see how each one is different in consistency and potential colour.
A new addition to this workshop is the making of earth pastels which we will make from the stones and clays ground during the workshop.
Though out the day you are able to try out these freshly created paints and see the colours of place appearing in front of you. Depending on how much is found and made during the day, course participants take home a good selection of paints and pastels to further experiment with.
