Natural Watercolor Making Workshop
-
July 11, 2026
12:30 pm - 4:30 pm
During this class we will dive the process of creating natural watercolors from plant to palette! Pigment is all around us, and we will explore the process of “laking” for pigments made from organic matter, as well as creating earth pigments from inorganic materials. Expect this session to be packed with information, and any folks who have information and experience to add to the knowledge pool are welcome to do so. All supplies and materials will be provided.
Registration Includes
All instruction and materials are included. You will leave with at least one pan of handmade watercolor.
