Скачать или смотреть Madder Root Powder Testing

As part of my Individual Artist Grant from the East Central Regioanl Arts Council in Minnesota, I learned, made, and tested a multitude of paints from plants and minerals. Here I am working with a type of Madder Root Powder that was refined using the laking process.

You are invited to join me for a free demonstration of making watercolors from plants & minerals.

When: Saturday, January 17th, 2026 from 12:30-3:00pm

Where: 210 Commercial Ave, Sandstone, MN (210 Gallery & Art Center)

All who attend will be invited to contribute to a community watercolor piece that will be submitted in the next gallery opening!

Over the past few months, I have been learning about and refining my skills in the processes of: Creating dye baths, extracting pigment from the dye baths with the laking process, refining rocks and minerals safely, creating watercolor binders, mulling it all together, and finally testing the watercolor product!

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Through these funds, I was able to connect with and learn from Jyotsna Pippal and her www.lostincolours.com online courses, as well as @Wóokiye Wiŋ, a fellow natural watercolor creator and Ojibwe and Dakhota artist/ author/ leader. Thank you all so much for working with me and believing in my budding abilities!
