Painting Plants Workshop

Painting Plants (originally: Blauwe Maandag / verfplanten.nl) is a research project focused on making paints and inks out of plants and how to make these suitable for different printing techniques. The project was started in 2011 bij biologist and artist Naan Rijks, and is executed inside the AGALAB. In 2013, scientist and teacher Jeroen Snijdewint joined the project. In 2017 Lucila Kenny, experienced in natural dyeing of textile, joined the team. Currently, more than 30 species of plants are being cultivated, all containing either dyes or pigments.
