Today I learned how to make pigments from earth. First we went foraging and then @susannahcrookart showed us how to grind the earth, sieve it, then combine with binders and pulverise it into paint. Ochre is everywhere! I also got to grind and paint with the legendary Bideford black. Huge thanks to Laura Denning and @asometimesproject for organising this, and to Susannah for sharing her skills with a very happy group of mudlarks.
