Although this workshop will be delivered in Japanese, English course materials are available.

If this sounds like working for you, you are welcome to join our workshops.



We often use paint straight from the tube without giving much thought to what goes into making it.

Paint is made by combining pigments, which provide color, with a binder that holds the pigment particles together and helps them adhere to a surface.

Among the many materials found at PIGMENT TOKYO, some have surprisingly unusual, even bizarre, origins.

Stones, insects, cattle…?

In this workshop, you’ll discover how paint is made and experience the process of making watercolor. Following traditional Western techniques, you’ll blend the ingredients yourself using a stone slab and a glass muller.

■ Special Pigments Revealed on the Day

The materials used to create your color will remain a surprise until the day of the workshop.

■ Exclusive to This Workshop: A Special Palette Box and Coloring Experience

Using the watercolors you’ve made yourself, you’ll add color to a coloring sheet designed by Uketsu and printed on washi paper.

You’ll take your finished artwork home, along with a special palette box created exclusively for this collaboration.

Inspired by Uketsu’s exhibition, explore the fascinating world of color and the stories behind the materials used to create art.
