Paint Explorations with Natural Dyes and Pigments
Immersive and exploratory workshops creating paints from natural dyes and pigments, including minerals, bugs, and flowers, and employing diverse water-based paint binders, grounds, and techniques. Explore natural colors, such as malachite, cochineal, purple iris flowers, buckthorn berries, indigo, and oak gall with a focus on their uses in painting; supports including a range of hand and machine-made papers, panel, fabric, and canvas; and water-based binders such as gum arabic, rabbit skin glue, PVA, egg white and egg yolk tempera.
Critical feedback for artists. Currently running 7 groups in 3 cities- The Crit Lab offers rigorous, critical, supportive feedback akin to a graduate-level seminar in small ongoing artist groups. Asking ethical and aesthetic questions, we situate artworks in a social context, engage materials in their own language, and preserve the inchoate nature of the creative process. The Crit Lab is for artists serious about critical feedback on their work. I also offer one-on-one critical and professional mentoring for working artists.
