Or looked to the land itself for inspiration and for the materials to paint with? The workshop opens with a visual and narrative presentation that introduces centuries-old natural paint-making practices from the Americas, with a focus on minerals and insects. Through classroom stories and personal research, a teacher-researcher shares how this work has unfolded alongside young children and been shaped through learning from Indigenous and local artists.The presentation gives way to a hands-on studio experience. Together, we will source, process and transform color—like a cooking class for pigments—while reflecting on place, history, and relationship to land. Participants will experience the aesthetic pleasure of turning raw materials into watercolors and leave with samples of locally sourced, hand-processed paints, along with renewed inspiration to explore natural materials with children as part of a living, shared tradition.Schedule:9:00 am - 9:30am - Arrival; Coffee & light breakfast bites9:30am - 11:30am - Where Color Comes From: Making Paint, Meaning, and Connection11:30am - 12:15pm - School TourCost: $100 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/1ad31f20-151b-11f1-8ae5-771ed3dbcff0-rimg-w1200-h723-dce9e9eb-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 09:00 AM - 09:30 AMArrival: Check-in, Coffee & Light Bites served🕑: 09:30 AM - 11:30 AMWorkshop: Where Color Comes From (with Hands-On experience)🕑: 11:30 AM - 12:15 PMTour of Evergreen Community School - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-monica/workshop-where-color-comes-from-making-paint-meaning-and-connection/100001983912661175 - **Event Categories**: Workshops, Art, Cooking - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 100, max: 100, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Monica - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Evergreen Community School - **lat**: 34.0320837 - **long**: -118.46897760000002 - **full address**: Evergreen Community School, 2800 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Workshop: Where Color Comes From: Making Paint, Meaning, and Connection - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/3562fa8b861328088ff18c54e5233a185462eef0191bea0b13bcef6973763775-rimg-w1200-h800-dcbfbec0-gmir.jpg?v=1772334167 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Workshop: Where Color Comes From: Making Paint, Meaning, and Connection being held? - **A:** Workshop: Where Color Comes From: Making Paint, Meaning, and Connection takes place on Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 12:15 pm at Evergreen Community School, 2800 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Workshop: Where Color Comes From: Making Paint, Meaning, and Connection? - **A:** Tickets for Workshop: Where Color Comes From: Making Paint, Meaning, and Connection are priced at USD 100 per person.
