Discover the art of making plant-based watercolors in a creative Ojai studio experience.



2 hours Location Oak View Class size 4 to 10 guests   $88

Step into a sun-drenched plant dye studio in Ojai and discover the joyful magic of how to make watercolor paint using plants! This beginner-friendly workshop is one of the most unique and relaxing things to do in Ojai, perfect for anyone curious about painting with plants, creating natural pigments, or simply looking for meaningful California activities.
In this warm, welcoming space, students will learn how to make watercolors from natural pigment–no pressure, no perfectionism, just pure creative play. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance, helpful notes, and a rainbow of plant pigments (already prepped and ready to go) so you can dive right into color-making without stress.
Together, you’ll mix six beautiful watercolor paints, each one rooted in nature and imagination. Everyone leaves with their very own handmade palette and the know-how to keep painting with plants at home. Come curious, leave inspired–and maybe a little paint-smudged in the best way.
