Workshop Description:
In the first half of the workshop we will learn about humankind's oldest art material–earth color–by exploring their sources, cultural implications, and uses. In addition to digging into these stories, we will discuss how we relate to color and earth. In the second half of the workshop we will turn rock into paint and end our time exploring with them on paper.
Tending to earth and pigments is a prayerful experience. I would love to bring your relationships and knowledge into the practice with us. Diverse forms of knowledge and research are welcome; from spirit, relationship, science, dreams and beyond. If you are currently curious about/working with a rock or mineral pigment that you would like to share, please bring it with you as well as an offering for the altar.
All materials will be provided.
