Painting with Cochinille paints
23. July 2025 | 16:30–18:00

With Bettina Cieslinski
In the therapy house upstairs
Contribution: 20 €
The cochinilla louse is a supplier of a high-quality carmine red, which is extracted here on Lanzarote and used to dye textiles, food, alcoholic drinks and lipsticks.
In a short introduction you will learn everything you need to know about the Cochinilla louse and receive an introduction to color production.
Mixing this carmine red with water or other substances creates bright shades of red. You can experiment with these watercolor tones to your heart’s content and create a fiery and individual work.
A great experience for children too!
