Painting with Natural Earth Pigments
Workshop by Ash Brockwell (He/They)
Natural earth pigments offer an attractive and eco-friendly alternative to acrylic and other synthetic paints. In this practical workshop, you'll learn to make your own egg tempera - one of the oldest types of paint - and experiment with other natural binding media. You'll be able to test out your home-made paints on different materials, as well as exploring the different effects that can be achieved with a range of tools. Expect creative fun and a lot of mess! Please wear old clothes for this session. It's also important to note that small quantities of pigment may flake off from the painting or stain fabrics that come into contact with it, even after drying (depending on the specific combination of pigment, binding medium and background) so you'll need to be mindful of this when taking your paintings home.
