During this two-part 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.
All "dabblers" will leave with at least one pan of handmade watercolor. All will have the opportunity to purchase ready made watercolor palettes foraged for and created by the instructor, as well as other reference materials.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
