Service Description

Did you know that you can make paint from mushrooms? Mushrooms create a variety of colors that can be used to create organic art supplies. In this class, we will create dye pots to extract pigment from several different types of mushrooms. We will then use the dye to make inks and lake pigments that can then be used to make paints. Students will experiment with creating dyes from both purchased and foraged mushrooms. Each student will leave with several small bottles of mushroom ink and a palette of watercolor paints from mushrooms along with the basic recipes for creating inks and paints from botanicals.
