In this small-group, hands-on workshop led by current International Artist in Residence, Kayla Powers, participants will learn how to create watercolour paints from plant pigments. Using locally grown plants, we'll extract colour, make pigment, and grind and mull it into paint.
Everyone will take home a set of handmade paints, plenty of samples, and step-by-step recipes. No experience necessary.

Due to the small group numbers, this workshop will be offered twice.

Kayla Powers is a place-based artist and naturalist who makes ecologically focussed textile art with and about the living world. She employs the traditional practices of foraging, dyeing, weaving, and stitching to explore the common threads of our shared humanity with the intention of creating connections - to the earth, to craft, and to each other.

The International Artist Residency is generously supported by the Tapestry Foundation of Australia through the Hancock Fellowship, and our accommodation partner, David Wallage.
