Making your own Watercolour Paint - the basics

Making your own Watercolour Paint - the basics

Saturday 26 August, 2pm - 4pm

Have you ever wanted to make your own watercolour paints, but felt daunted by all the ingredients and tools needed to get started?

This workshop will give you the information you need to find out if making paint is for you, and to start experimenting with homemade watercolours.

£12 entry per person, up to 12 participants

It covers: binders, ingredients, pigments, equipment, mulling, drying and storing paint, tips for finding supplies and setting up, and safety considerations. At the end we'll collectively have a go at mulling yellow ochre paint and give everyone a chance to feel what mulling a pigment into binder is like.

This is a 2-hour workshop that aims to give you basic knowledge of paint making; it's a whistle-stop tour of the process, designed to help you find out more. We won't be making paint individually from start to finish and will be working as a group. Suitable for ages 16 and over only.
