Summer workshop on the theme Colours of the Earth
1st - 5th July 2024
In this week we will be working with the earth pigments – browns, greys, blacks, chalk whites, the endlessly inspiring palette of the earth. As well as working directly with ready- ground earth pigments we will make outings to places where pigments can be found in nature. There will be basic processes in form language that will accompany the experimental work with the pigments. We hope this intensive week will open our eyes to the hidden beauty of the earth tones that although they do not shine like the precious stones or the flowers have a depth and presence of mystery that may earth us and give inner strength, comfort and courage when we begin to play them and compose.
