Class description
In this workshop, you will learn how to make natural colors yourself. You'll learn everything about natural mineral pigments and how they can be processed into vivid colors with the help of simple binders. The course is ideal for anyone who wants to live creatively in a sustainable way while protecting the environment.
I'll show you how you can make your own colors from natural mineral pigments and ecological binders for painting, but also for painting your home walls. I will explain to you which painting techniques and which colors are particularly suitable. In the summer months, we will also look at plants or fruits in nature from which you can obtain dyes. I'll show you how to mix the colors and how to apply them to different materials such as fabric, paper or wood. We will also look at how we can easily make our own brushes or spatulas from natural materials. You will learn various techniques and methods and be able to try them out for yourself.
In the course, you will also learn how to create natural collages by combining different materials and processing methods. I am also happy to help you with sketching or finding the right motif for a small work of art that you will make during the course.
A short creative hike along the banks of the Elbe is included in the price as well as a light lunch and round off your day in the beautiful nature of the Altmark.
If you like, you can spend the night on the grounds in your own tent after the workshop for a small additional charge and we can prepare a meal in the evening on the campfire or pizza oven and continue to exchange ideas artistically.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who likes to be creative and learn new skills. You'll be amazed how easy and fascinating it is to create your own natural colors. By the end of the course, you will be able to make your own paints and simple painting tools and add a sustainable and individual touch to your creative projects.
Sign up now for this exciting workshop and discover the wonderful world of natural colors!
