Mineral Grain Painting 8/2026

In this 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 types and colors of stone materials and minerals by crushing and separating them through sieves of different densities into several fractions (grades). Hardboard is used as the painting base, primed with marble powder, with an adhesive mixture as a binder. Then, the desired subject is planned and sketched with a pencil onto the work base, which is then worked on by sprinkling 'fragments' of mineral grains. An abstract subject made with mineral grains also works well. The course teaches the different work stages of the method and how to prepare the fragments yourself. Hardboard bases, adhesive mixtures, and priming marbles are included in the course price. Ready-made mineral grains of different colors and grades can be purchased from the instructor. Instructor: stone hobbyist Liisa Hertell.

For this course, the Epassi mobile application can be used as a payment method.
