This hands-on workshop invites participants to explore traditional painting practices using qwéqwyem̓c (ochre) and plant-based materials gathered from Tmicw (land). Participants will mix their own natural paints and experiment with painting on various materials, and get to take home their creation. As we work, we will reflect on the connections between land, language, creative expression, and how traditional materials carry knowledge and story. This workshop offers a relaxed and creative space to learn, share, and experience the process of making and using paints from the land.
