Curious Color: Cochineal

A meditative color making & painting experience.

Color leads, we will follow.

Our hands will move, our minds remain still.

Cochineal evolves into different forms.

A bright red, deep crimson, or perhaps a new tone!

The experience:

Explore how to collaborate with cochineal as raw material.

From nature,

Dried pigment to paint,

Which medium calls its name?

How much mulling does it need?

Which consistency does it crave?

Which texture seems true?

Can it be mixed with other colors?

Or is it enough on its own..

Cochineal, a canvas & all the necessary tools to make color will be provided. Bring your material to work on or share. No expectations are set or required.

Each week exploration shifts in color, method & material.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
