From Pigment to Paint

In this special one-day workshop, participants will learn how to create oil paints from scratch. Through this process, we will uncover the origin stories of color through an art historical lens and, more specifically, the history of the five different all-natural and non-toxic pigments that we will be using in this unique workshop. From the step-by-step process of breaking down natural materials into powdered pigment to mixing that pigment with binding medium, students will create their oil colors.

Each student will go home with 5 tubes of handmade oil paint.

Katelyn Chapman received an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Georgia in 2018 and a BFA with an emphasis in Drawing from Clemson University in 2014. Her work is inspired by her deeply rooted familial and rural ties to the South and has been featured in both national and local group exhibitions, as well as published internationally.

Her work is currently featured in the 2025 Eastern Carolina Contemporary Biennial exhibition, sponsored by Chick-fil-A of Florence, at the Florence County Museum.
