Artist Julie Beehler will teach how to extract pigment from dye baths and convert the pigment into a solution for painting and printing. Learn the process of making inks along with techniques for storing and using the pigment. Play with mixing pigments into paints by exploring different ways to mix, bind and apply the pigment with natural materials. We will test out our inks and paints on paper and fiber and experiment with modifiers to shift the colors.
A minimum of 9 students is required to run the workshop; refunds if cancelled.
Materials included in the cost of the workshop
This workshop is open to all experience levels. Ages 18+.

Julie Beeler is a designer, artist, and educator who grew up with a deep love for and curiosity about the natural world. She experiments with the unpredictability of plants and fungi by growing and harvesting, observing and foraging, and tethering herself to nature’s seasons.
