Limited capacity. Registration required.

This workshop is offered twice: Nov. 7 & Nov. 9. 

This hands-on, earth-honoring workshop invites you to gather, process, and transform local soil into natural pigment. Through ritual, slowness, and creativity, you will reconnect with land, craft handmade paint, and explore soil as story, archive, and art.

Join us for Earth Pigment: Alchemy of Soil, a hands-on workshop where art, ecology, and ritual meet. We’ll begin with a grounding practice before stepping into the landscape to gather soil with care and intention. Guided step-by-step, participants will learn traditional methods of sorting, sifting, washing, and grinding earth into vibrant pigment, then transform it into natural paints with simple, organic binders. To close, we’ll honor what the land has offered through a short creative ritual—painting, journaling, or marking with the handmade pigments. Each participant will leave with their own pigments, paint samples, and a soil alchemy guide, as well as a renewed sense of connection to place and the wisdom held within the earth.
