Common Ground: Paint Making Workshop
What if the colors you paint with carried a story? In this two-day workshop, you'll learn how to transform natural and meaningful materials into handmade watercolor paints. Together, we'll explore the idea of sentimental pigments—paints made from materials that hold personal memories, histories, or emotional significance—and use them to create artwork rooted in personal experience.
Bring a Workshop to Your Community
I offer workshops for organizations, schools, museums, businesses, community groups, and private gatherings. My workshops invite participants to slow down, work with natural materials, and explore the creative possibilities of pigments sourced directly from the landscape.
Whether we're grinding local rocks into watercolor paint or dyeing with plants, each workshop combines hands-on making with the history, science, and cultural traditions behind these materials. No prior experience is needed, and I provide all tools and supplies.
If you're interested in hosting a natural pigment workshop for your group, I'd love to hear about what you're planning. Fill out the contact form below, and we can find a workshop that fits your space, audience, and goals.
