Connect with plants by painting with them! Create your own masterpiece and visit A Summer Journey to see how artist duo Luftwerk plays with plant pigments.

Join us for a hands-on activity where you make your own paint using flower petals and leaves. Using a mortar and pestle, you’ll crush the petals and leaves to release their natural dyes, then use the unique pigments to paint your very own take-home masterpiece. Fun for all ages.

For more inspiration, visit the Joutras Gallery in the Regenstein Center to see how the scientific process of chromatography—Greek for “color writing”—inspired the artists’ work.
