The Cedars' best-selling White Gloves talk is back in September for a plunge into the beautiful art of making colour.

If you are interested in the historic art of making of paints, pigments and dyes then this talk is for you. Immerse yourself in a world of colour and art and learn how renowned Australian artist Hans Heysen prepared his canvases and made up his own paints to use on his acclaimed pieces. Look through some of his early annotated books when he was a young emerging artist and, if purple is your colour, take a deep dive into this luxurious colour, the very first synthetic dye, to learn about the world-changing creation of mauve.

This is a hands-on look behind the scenes into the studio of Hans Heysen and to handle and look at his personal collection and practices around the making of colour.

Tickets for this event will sell fast, book now to secure your place in this fascinating journey in art and pigments.

All attendees will receive a complimentary tea or coffee at The Cedars Cafe & Tea Rooms following the talk.
