Traditional Watercolour Paint Making Workshop at the Rare Trades Centre

Colour your world in this creative two-day workshop with pigment artist and paint maker Jeremy Parker. From safety basics to the secrets of pigment selection and binder creation, Jeremy will guide you through every step. Learn the techniques of paint grinding, preserving, and storing your handmade paints, gaining the knowledge and confidence to continue the craft at home. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with six pans of your own beautifully handmade watercolour paints—crafted with care, creativity, and your unique touch. Held at Ballarat's Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades, a world-class facility dedicated to learning and preserving Australia’s rare arts and trades through a series of workshops, masterclasses, events, and residencies.
