About the event
Fab Lab Reykjavík welcomes you to a unique workshop in Grana cochinilla - Ancestral Mexican Natural Dye with artist Aline González Moreno, on Wednesday October 7th at 17:00-19:00. The workshop will be held in English.
Registration required - limited seats available.
In the workshop, participants will learn how to shift the pH of cochineal extract to create a vibrant spectrum of colors using a formulation theory that Aline will guide them through. First, they will create a sample color catalogue by painting over paper. Afterward, they will have time to create their own artwork on a postcard-sized paper.
Since the painted paper might still be slightly wet by the end of the session, participants are recommended to bring a small rigid base (like a piece of cardboard, MDF, or an old book) to transport their pieces safely. Normal everyday clothing should be fine, but you’re welcome to bring an apron…
