Join the California Nature Art Museum and Artist Mona Lewis for an earth pigments and natural paints workshop. During this workshop, participants will get an introduction to making and using earth pigments, which are colors collected from the local natural landscape with beauty, sustainability, and fun in mind. You will learn how to identify rocks suitable for paint, best practices for collecting respectfully, and how to turn stones into pigments. Participants will also make their own paints using a mortar and pestle, then use their pigments to paint an image of their choice.
Mona Lewis is an artist and arts educator, specializing in revitalizing the lost art of using plant dyes and earth pigments and teaching students how to use them in their work. .
The class fee for this workshop is $65 for CalNAM Members and $80 for CalNAM Non-Members, all supplies included.
