Rejoin Michel Garcia in Lauris, France for a survey of the foundations for organic dyes and pigments in his typical style constructing modern sustainable methods with an eye towards historical traditions and chemical and botanical science. Beginning with a playful demonstration with garden flowers, Michel develops pigments and dyes for a variety of applications including inks for calligraphy, paints for printing and painting on paper and silk, pure pigments for watercolor, lake pigments and Maya Blue for wood and plaster walls, and dye extracts for one-bath dyeing of protein fibers.

Includes in-depth explorations of metallic salts for organic inks using pagoda tree, berries and woods, alum, gall nut, ferrous and titanium; methods for applying color to paper and silk by thickening inks, preparing and stretching fabrics, painting, screen printing, and block printing; precipitating pigments from walnut husks, lake pigments, and storing and preserving pigment pastes; making pure pigments from wild plants, pigment paste to powder, and grinding and bottling pigments; making and storing lake pigment and dyeing, printing, and mordanting on linen with lac extract; creating red, yellow, and blue pigments using madder, weld, and Maya Blue; preparing watercolors; painting on wood and plaster with casein, egg yolk, plaster, and beeswax.

Extended Bonus Notes on www.naturaldyeworkshop.com are made available with purchase.
