Pigments of the Past: Egg Tempera x Divine Thresholds
About this event
Join a Hellenic Museum curator for a hands-on workshop exploring the history and materiality of pigments, with a special focus on the medium of egg tempera.
Beginning with a brief tour of this new major exhibition, explore the history of Orthodox icons and how they come to be, what pigments were used, the symbolism, and how they were prepared and applied.
In the workshop you will be handling traditional pigment ingredients, examining the textures and qualities, have the opportunity to handle real and replica artefacts, and receive guidance through the process of blending your own paint using the ancient method of egg tempera.
Come away with a deeper understanding of historical pigments, a connection to historic artistic practises, and your own artwork to take home.
