The Story of BLUE: Timelines in Colour, DUKES OF WEST BARNS, 24th April

Sale Price: £75.00 Original Price: £85.00

Timelines in Colour are a unique series of workshops that give you the chance to delve, in considerable detail, into one particular colour.

Ultramarine, Prussian Blue, Egyptian Blue, Azurite, Indigo… we read these names on tubes of paint, but what do they mean? What are the stories of these names, when and how did these colours become available to artists?

During this workshop you will explore the story of blue, one of the first colours to be synthetically made by humans and sometimes referred to as the 'colour of distance' or resembling the heavenly realms. During this workshop you will learn about these blues from their ancient sources up to the present day and experience first hand all the variations of this most beguiling of colours.

Throughout the day you will touch and feel the raw materials that begin the journey of the pigment, and process some pigments into paints, inks and pastels for you to take home.

From The Story of Blue, you will go home with:

  • An exclusive Old Mill Arts booklet on blue, painting your own swatches of blue as the day unfolds.

  • A poster painted by you of the timeline of blue.

  • A range of paints, inks and pastels made by you during the workshop.
