Join guest facilitator Hannah-May for a workshop that introduces the foundational elements of earth pigments: foraging, harvesting, processing, & making.
🍂Step into a world where the earth whispers its colours and ancient practices meet modern creativity. This immersive workshop invites you to explore the timeless art of earth pigments – beginning with the sacred act of foraging, the mindful harvesting, and the transformative process of creating your own vibrant palette from nature’s bounty.
🍂Through every step, you’ll unlock the secrets of processing raw earth into rich, soulful hues, awakening a deeper connection to the land beneath your feet.
🍂In this space, we move away from petroleum-based paints, returning instead to a sustainable, eco-conscious path. Here, the practice of making is more than just a craft; it is a reclamation of a creative tradition that has been passed down through generations, one that honours the earth’s natural beauty and nurtures our connection to it.
🍂This workshop is a celebration of colour, not only in the pigments but in the way we create, encouraging us to embrace practices that are as old as time itself – deeply rooted in the land, yet timeless in their relevance.
