Watercolor Palette - Natural Earth Pigments
Introducing our handmade white ceramic palettes with speckles showcasing our hand-mulled all-natural watercolors 🎨
The Earth is vibrant with color 🌈
Color shows up as Chlorophyll in plants, Melanin in our skin, Carminic Acid in cochineal bugs, and PIGMENT in minerals, rocks, and clays. Pigments are all around us thanks to the wavelengths of the sun and the light it reflects ✨
Once crushed, washed, and sifted, earth and mineral pigments are hand-mulled with a natural homemade binder. Pigments are lightfast and sustainably harvested from around the world.
Due to the nature of handmade products, size variation and cracking may take place as a result of natural shrinkage. Regardless, product is still of the highest quality!

In a world where every color imaginable is available at your local art supply shop, why would anyone bother to make their own colors and binders? In a similar sense, there is something to be said about growing and cooking your own food rather than going through a drive-through to pick it up. It’s convenient. Sure. However, the connection between the processes is interrupted. We lose touch with knowing fundamental skills, and we consume food without intention. Artists have the drive to want to create regardless if the rest of the world tells them AI could do better. If this primitive curiosity to want to know where things come from and how things are made resonates with you, then look no further and read on!
