Mineral Grain Painting 8/2026

On the course, images are created using mineral grains and stone fragments. During the course, students will create one or two paintings. The main material used is mineral grains obtained from various and different colored rock materials and minerals by crushing and separating them through sieves of different densities into several fractions (coarseness grades). Hardboard is used as the painting's base, primed with marble powder, with a glue mixture as the binder. Then, the desired subject is designed and sketched with a pencil onto the base, which is then worked on by sprinkling 'fragmenting' mineral grains. An abstract subject made with mineral grains also works well. The course teaches the different stages of the method and also how to prepare the fragments oneself. Hardboard bases, glue mixtures, and priming marbles are included in the course price. Ready-made mineral grains of different colors and coarseness grades can be purchased from the instructor. Instructor: stone enthusiast Liisa Hertell. The language of instruction is Finnish.
