make Your Own Watercolors

I was shocked when I learned that acrylic and oil paints are made out of plastics. I knew there had to be a way to create paints that were conducive to my health and belief systems. I mean, people did it before there were plastics, right?  So ten years ago, I embarked on a journey to learn everything I could about pigments and dyes. And, I want to share it with you. 

Join me for the Make Your Own Watercolors workshop, where we will learn how to make every color in the rainbow using soil, insect based, and plant pigments. I will offer up my personal watercolor recipe, and teach you about all the tools and tricks I have collected along my journey.  You will make your own watercolors, name them,  and share them with classmates. Everyone will leave with a small set of watercolors in an upcycled tin container.  We’ll even create a one of a kind color guide for understanding your colors.
