In the Alchemist's Studio: Yellow
Yellow in alchemy marks the beginning of the soul's awakening through the passage of its soul's journey from darkness to light. In India, yellow is considered a sacred colour due to its relationship to the cow, symbolic of the mother of all creation. Yellow is one of the three primary colours; when mixed with blue or black, it becomes green. When combined with purple, its complementary opposite, its colour disappears, and we are left with grey. When placed beside purple, it vibrates with an extraordinary intensity.
Day 1 of the workshop will begin with a talk on the different yellows found
in nature - in minerals and plants, with examples of the processes by which these can be extracted from nature.
Day 2 will involve colour exercises exploring different shade of yellow and their relationship to other colours, with particular reference to the major and minor colours and how these can be employed compositionally using different colour harmonies.
