PRI is introducing a new series: Colours in Conversation

Join us for Colours in Conversation, an information-rich new series that brings together creatives, historians, scientists, and craft practitioners from across the world of pigments. Each event features an informal, hour-long conversation between our hosts and you as everyone explores colour from multiple perspectives, including yours.

In our first live session, artist and art historian Evie Hatch and pigment maker Lucy Mayes dive into the fascinating world of pigments—from historical uses to sustainable practices.

Evie Hatch is a London-based artist, art historian, and writer passionate about the stories behind artist pigments. You may know her from Jackson’s Art’s “Pigment Stories” on Instagram and TikTok.

Lucy Mayes is a pigment maker, artist, and educator whose handmade pigments are available at L. Cornelissen & Son. She teaches nationally on historical and sustainable pigment-making techniques.

This marks the launch of a new series celebrating the art, science, and history of colour. Bring your questions, knowledge, ideas and expertise and join the conversation!

PLEASE NOTE: All Pigments Talk segments are recorded and available to PRI members on the Resources page of our website.
