We are pleased to host visiting artist Indiana Christov from Oaxaca to facilitate this workshop. In this hands-on experience we will learn all about the history and chemistry of natural pigments in Mesoamerica. We will learn how to make vibrant pigments from plants and insects and then how to bind these with a natural watercolor binder. Each participant will create their own watercolor set (4-6 colors) to take home and we will experiment and have fun with the paints we make.
Suitable for adults and children ages 5 and up (children 5-7 must be accompanied by and adult assistant)
