Join Edward and Lucy from Old Mill Arts to learn how to make a range of colourful inks, all from plants and natural sources.Workshop Details
In this workshop you will experience the fascinating history and development of the colour blue. This is both a practical and historical workshop, weaving in story and authentic historical blue pigments beginning from ancient Mayan cultures, through to the shades of blue we find on our shelves today.You will go home with a hand painted poster, notes, and a selection of art materials you have made yourself using shades of blue you particularly resonate with.
In this unique workshop, you will have the opportunity to ponder upon emotive responses when using and observing blue, as well as learning some of the meanings of this culturally important colour. Sometimes referred to as the 'colour of distance' or resembling the heavenly realms, there is so much to explore within the colour blue and this workshop will be an aid to deepening your own relationship to the colour, and to the various shades found across the world and within our everyday life.
About the Artists
Old Mill Arts is a Dumfries and Galloway-based, multidisciplinary learning project aiming to empower creative capacities both individually and collectively. In their studio, through workshops and during projects, Lucy and Edward explore the hidden profundity of hand-making creative materials. Through practising and sharing these age-old crafts, they hope to remember parts of shared culture eclipsed by mass production, and to celebrate the rich history of the handmade arts.

Lucy and Edward are both practising artists, almost exclusively using their own handmade art materials to create their work. Discover Edward's work on Instagram @ofalderandoak and Lucy's work @lucy._._.lee
