Pure Pigments — The Colour Makers House, Britain's only medieval pigment alchemist
Become the Master Alchemist at The Colour Makers House
Experience 4 — The Master Alchemist Experience
The comprehensive initiation — for those who demand more than surface knowledge
This is the full tradition. Drawing on all four classical elements and all three preceding experiences, the Master Alchemist Experience encompasses the complete arc of Britain's 2,000-year pigment heritage — from the Roman mining of Pennine lead to the Victorian chemical revolution that ended the age of natural colour.
You will work across the full range: earth pigments, calcined colours, lead white produced through the ancient Dutch stack process, and the elusive copper blues and greens that defined the medieval palette. By the end of the day you will possess a knowledge that exists in almost no other hands in Britain — and a collection of pigments made entirely by your own.
A fine buffet lunch is included. Maximum four participants.
