Enjoy a free workshop or live demo with a Torpedo Factory Art Center artist at the Waterfront entrance of the Art Center. In this workshop, Saya Behnam (Studio 229) will show the quick and preliminary steps of getting inks from some plants and flowers and introduce some pigments and minerals to get their colors. She will prepare the primary colors such as Yellow (from the dried Weld), Red (from Brazilian wood tree bark), Blue (from Cobalt stone powder), and Purple (from Cochineal, which is an insect that grows on some cactus) and other colors. Attendees can observe her create these on paper.
