Today, we held an event of the architectural warehouse museum x Pigment Tokyo, the GW parent and child de art day@Tennozu Isle. In this article, in the latter half of that, we will report on the original crayon making workshop.

The instructor is Saito, an art supplies expert, who is in charge of the Intermediate Lecture for Western painting.

The children who participated in unfamiliar art materials are also curious.

You may think, "Isn't it a bit difficult to make crayons?"

First, put the beetlow in the cup and put the pigment and linseed oil in it.

After that, warm the cup with a heat insulator.

Once warm, mix it so that the color is uniform and warm it again.

Make a crayon mold while warming.

The idea is free -Some children have created various shapes with clay, and some children use the type for ready -made chocolate.

And pour the warm crayon in the mold ...

It's done when it cools!

At first, the children who were a little nervous gradually got used to the work, and the venue was colored with various colors and shapes. Some of them were as enthusiastic about their children, and the workshop ended with great excitement.

Regarding the planning of this workshop for parents and children, the event is undecided, but we are considering holding it after the next time. Of course, we offer content that parents and children can participate in in regular workshops.

Please see the information on the Pigment Workshop official page.
