Book of Earth: A Guide to Ochre, Pigment, and Raw Color | Heidi Gustafson
A beautiful exploration of earth pigments, natural color, art, and the stories held within the ground beneath us.
In Book of Earth, artist and ochre specialist Heidi Gustafson invites readers into the remarkable world of ochre—a naturally occurring mineral pigment that humans have gathered and used for thousands of years. Part art book, part cultural history, and part practical guide, this richly researched book explores the relationship between earth, color, place, and making.
Drawing from Gustafson’s extensive archive of pigments from around the world, the book shares the history and cultural significance of ochre alongside practical techniques for creating and working with natural pigments.
A wonderful resource for artists, natural dyers, makers, educators, and anyone curious about creating color from the earth.
