What to expect: Mae will lead the group in a hands-on journey through the basics of paint making, focusing on refining pigment from dirt and using it to produce vibrant tempera paint.
When and where: Saturday, November 7th, 1 pm - 4 pm at 2302 East Gwinnett Street
What to bring: Please wear clothing that can get dirty. Bring a notebook if you are a note-taker! All tools and materials will be provided.
