| Increasingly conscious of the effects even water-based paints have both on our health and the environment, we began to search for alternatives. We began to make paint using old recipes, researching and experimenting with clay paints, plasters, milk paint and lime plasters. We even collected clay from the road cuts of the Painted Hills area in Central Oregon to create a clay-striped wall in our studio, which pays homage to the beautiful colors of the earth. |
