A growing study of tone, through rock and soil (making paint)

rock to paint workshops

This offering is open to individuals, community groups, institutions, and art spaces. I provide all materials, including safety equipment, and tailor the workshop to suit different age groups, spaces, and levels of experience.

If you're interested in joining a future session or would like to host Rock to Paint in your space, please feel free to get in touch via info@meryemmeg.com . I’d be happy to share more details or discuss how we can shape the workshop to fit your community.



workshop hosted making rocks to paint with the women and children of the medina at Dar Bellarj, Marrakesh


the collective went on a walk to collect material, rocks, soil and clay. We explored the different textures, ratios in formula and used them to create paintings. Reflecting on our link between nature and spirituality, and the accessibilty of it all.
