Colour Alchimia is an experimental workshop that explores the origins of colour making. Through developing a thorough understanding and knowledge of how colour was once sourced, crafted and utilized in the past, we hope to both celebrate the ancient rituals and alchemic techniques and encourage others to once again appreciate colour provenance.
This creative workshop will be divided into theory and hands-on experimenta-tion recreating traditional colours from scratch. It is focused on anyone in-terested in the colour world such as: colour lovers, designers, artists, makers, trend forecasters, colour designers, architects, etc.
The initiative of creating this experimental workshop is to generate aware-ness in people, since, colour is a commodity industrially produced for mass consumption. However, there was a time when the story of origin was inte-gral to colour identity, the narrative of provenance possessing a power and a sense of magic.
Following the successful delivery and exposure of Colour Alchimia in Paris, Mi-lan, Barcelona, Poland, Colombia, Sicily we are launching an upcoming workshop in Barcelona November 24th, 2018.

PROGRAMME:
You are invited to get your hands stained and messy. You will explore traditional colour pigments, the narrative of provenance and the art of grinding colours by hand!
You are encouraged to try and test new techniques and processes and give some focus to your personal work developed through the work-shop. The workshop starts with a succinct presentation about the history of colour and its evolution.
During the experimentation phase, you will try traditional techniques and design your own natural colour and material palette.
Main project objectives:- Experiment, take risks, work outside of your comfort zone- Have a playful approach to materials
Output/deliverables:- Process: sampling, sketches, tests- Final samples/moodboard- Visuals that communicate (tell a story) where do you envisage the application of the material samples.
