Free College Sundays: Making Medieval Paints at the Morgan

Sunday, December 1, 2024, 2-3:30 PM
Tickets: FREE; advance registration is required.

Where did paint come from in the Middle Ages? Take a close look at some of the most stunning illuminated manuscripts in the Morgan’s collection and discuss the origins of the colors that fill the pages. Workshop participants will then use traditional tools to make pigments, mix watercolor paints, learn how to apply 22-karat gold leaf, and craft their own medieval-inspired masterpiece. All materials will be provided.

This program is intended only for undergraduate and graduate students with a valid ID.
New in 2024, the first Sunday of every month is free to all college students with a valid ID!
