HANDS-ON ACTIVITY:

“Waste to Wonder: Painting with Regenerative Watercolors”

Join us for a hands-on, eco-conscious art experience where creativity meets sustainability! In this unique workshop, you’ll explore the magic of liquid watercolors made from repurposed food waste—transforming discarded materials into vibrant, natural pigments.

Guided by local sustainable designer Lara Cornell, you’ll learn about the process of extracting colors from everyday kitchen scraps like onion skins, avocado pits, and berry remnants. Then, put your creativity to work as you paint with these regenerative watercolors, discovering the beauty of nature’s palette.

This event is perfect for artists, makers, and anyone curious about sustainable creativity. Leave with a deeper appreciation for waste as a resource, a new artistic technique, and your own unique watercolor artwork.

Let’s turn waste into wonder—one brushstroke at a time!
