Primary Schools Training Opportunities

Natural paint making 

We offer courses for Key stage 1 and 2 students based on making paints from natural kitchen ingredients such as milk and cheese, combined with natural mineral pigments to create a healthy and ecological paint that can be used for art projects and even to decorate walls in the school.

Children will be able to make a simple product from natural raw materials. They will be able to identify the natural source of all the materials and locate a source locally. The product will be biodegradable and provide no health risks to themselves or the environment.

Ideally the paint-making could take place in a classroom or outdoor classroom setting. All materials are provided, water for washing and aprons should be provided by the school.
