Once Upon a Wetland: Pigments from the Marsh
Natural Paints workshop with Ane Carla Rovetta
The story of natural paint is intertwined with the narrative of wetlands around the world. Historically, pigments were often collected from seeps, the lowest places where color can collect. Bright yellow cattail pollen is still revered by the Navajo, and tule mud can be the darkest of browns. During this morning of discovery we will make natural paint from supplies found around our beautiful Laguna and beyond. All recipes used are non-toxic.
Join us for this intimate, fun, and memorable hands-on workshop in light-filled, comfortable Heron Hall. You’ll be surrounded by gorgeous views of nature and the peace and quiet of the Laguna Environmental Center during a time that it is closed to the public. Most workshop supplies will be provided, as well as hot drinks and light snacks.
