Two weeks of workshops, showcases, and more; highlighting and supporting creativity in our community. Our ArtFest calendar is brimming with events and exhibitions that offer an immersive experience into the Chilkat Valley's vibrant arts scene, but we're still looking for more local artists and volunteers to make this event amazing!
Schedule:
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Making Earth Pigment Colors at Cruise Ship Dock, meet at the stairs, Haines, AK
Learn to make paint by smashing rocks!
Ever wonder where paint comes from? Earth pigments are made from crushed rocks or colored muds. In this class, students will pick up colored rocks on the beach, then smash and grind them so they are fine enough to mix with a medium, making a paint. Meet at the stairs to the beach.
