Join us for ‘Colours of the Earth - Pigment to Paint’, a unique and immersive workshop where you will have the opportunity to create paint and take home a set of natural and homemade watercolours!

This workshop is dedicated to artists, creatives and naturalists. Drawing on the ancient River Thames and surrounding soil as a material resource and a pool for creativity, participants will learn how to transform ordinary river rocks and soil into watercolour paints. Enjoy the alchemy and labour involved in the paint-making process through grinding, sifting, and mixing pigments. Once pigments are prepared, participants will be exposed to the anatomy of paint - pigments and natural binders. At the end of the workshop, participants will have fun with their new set of paints and work together to produce a collaborative painting.

Christine Chua (b. 2000) is a Singaporean artist based in London, United Kingdom. She is a recent Fine Art graduate at the Slade School of Fine Art. Her practice focuses on collecting found objects and foraging pigments for her installations and ongoing drawing practice. Through her artworks, the artist challenges the legacy of site specific art, the alchemical process involved in creating clay sculpture and the organic sourcing of art materials. Christine is also a self-employed workshop facilitator, sharing the joys of her nature-inspired practice by organising foraging walks, creating spaces for people to learn ancient practices such as making paint from pigments, and dyeing fabrics.
