The Workshops are designed to allow the participants an opportunity to explore natural and locally found earth pigments, giving an experience that may bring insights into the origins of paint making as well as local history and a deeper relationship with our environment.

A simple form of the workshop has been used with younger school and special needs groups but is equally valuable to artists of all ages, offering the possibility of field trips to discover your own local colours and spending time making your own paints and pastels.

A selection of locally sourced clays, minerals and rocks are provided. Other materials and tools needed for the workshops may be supplied on request. Workshops are priced at £35/hr (minimum duration half day) + materials and expenses.

The workshop was used by the Museum of Barnstaple & North Devon as part of their 'Devon Rocks' project and by the Appledore Arts Festival 2008.
