Team-Events.ch arranges excursions for companies throughout Switzerland.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of colors and make your own watercolors from powder-fine pigments of plants, minerals and earth.

Colors from natural ingredients

Why do we prefer to make blue, sometimes see red or do the same in green? This workshop is quite colorful, because it's all about the rush of colors. After a short cultural-historical introduction, you will make watercolor paints for your own watercolor box. For this purpose, powder-fine pigments from plants, minerals and earth are mixed with binders and natural additives according to a given recipe to form a smooth mass. Together with your team, you prepare a palette of colors in this way and fill them into small bowls. These find a place in a metal box that you can take with you everywhere.

Goals and contents of the workshop

At the end of the workshop, each team member will have their own watercolor box with the colors they made themselves. Of course, you can also try them out right away in the course. These are the goals and contents of the workshop at a glance:
