  • No prior knowledge of the subject is required. I will be there to guide you step-by-step through this fascinating process and answer all your questions.

Who am I?

  • I’m Julien Guinet. For nearly ten years, I’ve been making my own paints and other materials that I then use to create my work.

To learn more about me, I invite you to visit my “About me” page.

Workshop outline

What you will discover:

  • Plant identification and their dyeing properties.
  • Different pigment extraction methods to achieve vibrant, natural colors.
  • Creating natural paints from these pigments (watercolors, gouache, tempera…)

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with your own natural paints.

Would you like us to organize a workshop near you?

Do you know or manage a venue where we could organize it? If so, it’s definitely possible.

But before going any further, there are a few conditions to be aware of to ensure the workshop can be held successfully. First:

  • The venue must be equipped with a table large enough to accommodate participants.
  • Ideally, there should be a water source nearby.
  • I prefer to limit the workshop to 6 beginner participants, and 8 if they already have some knowledge of the subject. I like to be able to explain thoroughly and progress at everyone’s pace.
  • For workshops set up in this context, the price is €500 per session (4 hours) + travel expenses + possibly accommodation if the workshop takes place far from my home (I live in Vichy).
  • As I won’t be on site, I’ll leave it to you to find the participants.

Newsletter

No unnecessary fluff here: I only send a newsletter when I truly have something to announce (workshops, classes, new recipes, etc.). On average, that’s about 1 newsletter every 2 months.
