Led by local artist and Uptown Art Fair contributor Lara Cornell, this experience invites you to paint with purpose using handmade, plant- and flower-based watercolor pigments from nature’s own palette.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, this is a chance to slow down and let your creativity bloom.

What You’ll Experience:

• Learn how to extract pigment from blooms which would otherwise be headed to the compost pile, and craft your own sustainable watercolor paints.

• Create a personalized color chart by modifying these floral pigments into a wide spectrum of hues.

• Use your handmade paints to craft garden-inspired watercolor paintings.

• Every detail is thoughtfully designed to leave no trace—featuring compostable materials, non-toxic pigments, and zero microplastics.

What You’ll Take Home:

• Your custom natural floral pigment color chart

• A unique modern art piece created with your own hand-crafted botanical hues

• A sample of hand-crafted paint to continue your creative journey

• A recipe and guide for making your own sustainable paints at home
