Art from the Landscape - Wild-Crafted Pigments, Paints, & Crayons

Description:

Join Nick Neddo, artist, author, naturalist, primitive skills educator and craftsman, for a hands-on workshop on the ancient process of crafting natural materials into paint, paintbrushes and crayons. Learn all about pigments, binders, various kinds of paint and some rustic, yet elegant options for making paintbrushes.

We will hunt and gather rocks from the landscape, process them into a fine pigment and transform it into paint!

Make crayons from pigments you process from the landscape. Students will also learn to improvise crayon molds from the plant world and use them in combination with beeswax and pigment to make wild crafted crayons of a variety of earth tones.

Participants will work with raw material from the ecosystem, including those they gather from the local landscape.

Location: Bowie MD
Price: $75
