Connect with the world around us through color and creative self expression.
Learn how to make paint, charcoal sticks, inks and stains with dirt, stone, sticks and waters from rivers, streams and the sea. Learn about plants that can produce natural color. Learn what petals, leaves, berries, and stems can be used to create beautiful natural color.
Learn to relax on your walks and find color all around for making natural pigments to provide creative opportunities that scaffold experimentation, contemplation and meditative journeys with earthly color.
Learn how to gather color on your travels and save the memories through earthly color notations in your journal or on pocket memory cards you will learn how to make along with a handmade carrier.
Recipes and ingredients as well as care of supplies and pigment storage options will be shared.
Explore with me as I visit sites where farm community that once flourished and now development unearths layers of color as bulldozers destroy orange groves and land where cattle other wild animals roamed. Visits to the sea, walks in the woods examining lichens, mosses and streams for rock tools and color. Garden visits share unique varieties of plants that inspire palettes.
