Also, different minerals and resources will be introduced and the pigment extracting process will be implemented. The participants will use traditional materials and methods to extract the pigments and turn them to paint.

5. Course Fees

Online Course 145 Euro

6. Course plan and timing

There will be 8 sessions for this course (depending on different factors such as the number of participants, if we have more than 6 people in the class we will need more time for correction so we will need a complete session to cover that).

Each session would be about 90 minutes long (upon request the timing of each class could be decreased and in return, the number of sessions would increase) so the course is a 12-hour teaching course but you will be in touch with the instructor throughout the course by our WhatsApp number.

Due to time differences, we will need to adjust a time that is suitable for everyone in the course our first option is 16:00 Tehran time on Saturdays, but this time might change upon participant’s request (we do understand your conditions in different parts of the world so we will try our best to adjust everything as smoothly as possible).
