This workshop delves into the history, chemistry, and hands-on practice of ink making with natural lake pigments. Utilizing the most lightfast color sources (weld, madder, lac, and indigo) we’ll concoct a mini palette: four bottles of liquid gouache for use with a brush or dip pen. We’ll also mull over the history of color, with snippets from the artist’s studio, monastic scriptorium, and alchemist’s laboratory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatalie Stopka is an artist and educator focused on the material history of color and sustainable studio practice. She captures material and elemental interactions in her experimental printmaking practice, incorporating a seasonally-changing vocabulary of plant dyes and handmade pigments. Natalie’s studio and dye garden are located in Yonkers, New York. She is the author of \"From Plant to Pigment: How to make your own vibrant inks, pastels and paints\" (Skittledog, 2025).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Please note: This will take place in our downstairs workshop space which is only accessible by stairs.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto courtesy of Natalie Stopka\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Pigment Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44823968710726,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/5009\/3126\/files\/Stopka_Hands-on_workshop_poster_011ecd15-3889-4c53-bd5f-46ef7fead11b.png?v=1775144513","url":"https:\/\/www.newyorkpigmentco.com\/products\/plant-pigments-and-handmade-inks-hands-on-workshop","provider":"New York Pigment Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
