SUMMARY:Creative workshop “Alchemy of Earth Pigments: from soil to colour” with A. Baronaitė (for families with children) CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 31 January at 13.00, the creative workshop “Alchemy of Earth Pigments: from soil to colour” with the artist Arūnė Baronaitė, intended for families with children, will take place at the KCCC Art Yard (Daržų g. 10). The workshop will explore natural earth pigments — ochres, clays, sand, ashes and other materials — through a palette of colours. The event is part of the workshop cycle “Alchemy of the Earth”, running from January to April.\nTHE WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED DUE TO THE ARTIST’S ILLNESS. We look forward to seeing you at the February workshops with Arūnė.\nThe January workshops, which will be held twice — once for adults and once for families with children — are devoted not only to exploring the natural earth pigments that preserve geological memory within themselves, but also to discovering how soil and stone turn into colour: we will learn to collect materials sustainably, to dry, grind and sieve them, to separate pigment fractions and to build our own pigment palette.\nThis will be an encounter with the earth not as a background but as a living body and archive — a place where the past, the present and future ecological histories intertwine at the molecular level. The workshops combine art and science: we will observe the behaviour of the material and let nature itself reveal its knowledge through colour.\nThe workshops are subject to a charge.

Participants will build an individual pigment library and test samples, and will have more time for the process and for reflection.\nThe workshop on 31 January, for families with children\nThis version is oriented towards play and experiential discovery: for children (and parents) it will be an “adventure of discovering” colour — from a lump of earth to real paint. We will work more through the senses (touching, grinding, sieving), with simple, safe processes, and the workshop will not require a long attention span, making it an excellent way for families to spend time together. We will create a shared colour palette and small creative samples.\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP CYCLE “ALCHEMY OF THE EARTH”\npigments – reactions – decay – a living archive\nThis is a cycle of 4 workshops, 8 meetings (in January, February, March and April, one meeting each for adults and for families with children), in which the earth becomes a laboratory and creative work becomes research.\nWe will work with local materials — soil, clay, sand, ashes and plant binders — create pigments and observe how chemical processes generate an image.\nThese are workshops based on the bioart principle, in which what matters most is not the “result” but the behaviour of the material: reactions, sediments, transparency, drying, transformations.\nThe axis of the cycle is sustainability and a connection with nature at the molecular level: we will learn to create from minimal, non-toxic materials, respecting the place and its resources. Each meeting will be a new alchemical experience, leading from the emergence of a pigment to a hybrid work — a living archive.\nThe workshop cycle draws on contemporary artistic practices in which natural pigments and inks become chemical reactions, a document of memory and of ecological processes, examining how colours arising from found materials can bear witness to time, to place and to its states.\nPlease note that participants may appear in photographs and video recordings of the event published in various media. \n
