Pigments & Paints
The use of pigments by Aboriginal peoples of the world pre-dates recorded history. Like many other cultures, the Indians of North America valued
earth pigments as sacred materials with which they infused their art into everyday objects such as parfleche and other rawhide items. Trade for pigments
among tribes and later with European traders expanded their palette of colors. The art of Sand Painting among tribes in the Southwest took advantage of
the great geologic range of natural colors in their environment. With the broad selection of pigments we offer, it is possible to rediscover these beautiful art forms.
