Touch Ceramics - "Moonlit Autumn · Painting the Moon in Mineral Pigments"

**[Moonlit Autumn: Mineral Pigment Painting Workshop]** The moon has always been a gentle presence in our daily lives. It's the quiet glow above on your walk home, the soft light drifting through the window after dinner, and the timeless sight we gather under with loved ones every Mid-Autumn Festival. We admire it, talk beneath it, and celebrate it year after year. This Mid-Autumn, bring that familiar light closer to home by painting a moon of your own. Using natural mineral pigments (_Iwagunjo_ / Mineral Pigment Art), you will layer raw stone textures to capture a soft, luminous moon. Guided through traditional techniques like flat washes, layering, and silver leaf application, you will experience the shift from granular mineral powders to the delicate luster of silver foil—crafting a unique piece of moonlight with your own hands. Take a peaceful pause before the festival to immerse yourself in natural pigments and moonlight. Your finished 15 × 15cm artwork can serve as a festive home decor piece on a windowsill or desk, or serve as a heartfelt, handcrafted gift for family and friends. Creative Highlights: - Mineral Pigment Wash & Layering: Master foundational painting techniques and discover the rich, warm color depth of natural mineral pigments. - Foil Application: Learn leaf-gilding techniques using silver leaf to add delicate radiance and festive charm to the lunar surface. - Tactile Stone Texture: Mix natural minerals and synthetic pigments hands-on to experience the signature granular texture of mineral art. - 15 × 15cm Framed Board Piece: Ready to take home immediately—perfect as a tabletop display or a meaningful holiday gift. _No prior art experience required.
