From spore to canvas let’s take a dive into the natural pigmentation of mushrooms and its watercolor application! Let’s learn how mushrooms can be used in everyday all natural pigments to create our our watercolor palettes. We will walk through the uses of mushrooms, how to obtain natural foraged colors, processing to pigments, and color mixing techniques/recipes.

Each guest will hand mix their own natural paints palettes and be given a sheet of hand pressed mushroom paper to complete a mushroom permaculture piece of their own. Guests will take home both paints and pieces created.
