Natural Pigment & Watercolor Workshop
Learn to make beautiful natural non toxic pigments and watercolors with native plants and insects from Oaxaca, Mexico. Experiment and be creative while we talk fun facts about colors and chemistry!
Includes all the materials + a small watercolor set made during the workshop.
Led by artist and materials maker Indiana Cristov, this workshop invites you to discover the magic of color straight from nature. Indiana’s mission is to create the highest quality art materials—crafted by and for artists—using small-scale production, natural ingredients, and non-toxic recipes free from artificial additives and preservatives.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to make beautiful pigments and watercolors using native plants and insects traditionally used in Oaxaca, Mexico. Along the way, Indiana will share the science and stories behind each hue, blending fun facts about chemistry with space for playful, creative experimentation.
You’ll have the chance to paint, play, and take home your very own small watercolor set, handmade during the session. All materials are provided, so just bring your curiosity and imagination!
