Teaching Artist: Laura Miner

Painting with earth pigments is a hands-on course using forged and natural earth materials to make art pigments and paint. Learn to prepare carbon black pigments (lamp, bone and vine) and process them into paint. We will use the same techniques and materials used by artists hundreds and even thousands of years ago. From each pigment you make either watercolor paint or oil paint based on your preference and create a painting with them to take home. This workshop combines history, science, art and fun. Skill level - beginner to advanced.

A material fee of $25 is paid to the instructor the day of the workshop.
