WILD TERRAIN
Limited Edition Handmade Pigment Bar Set
Step into the landscape with your fingertips—where mineral dust meets layered color, and every pigment tells a story of earth, stone, and sky.
WILD TERRAIN is a limited edition set of 8 handcrafted artisanal multicolored confetti PIGMENT BARS, inspired by pigment foraging journeys through the redwoods of Northern California, ochre cliffs along the Central Coast of Australia, and volcanic soil in Hawai‘i.
Each bar is infused with earthy texture, some have foraged hand ground pigments, and unexpected color shifts—an invitation to explore your own wild, expressive terrain.
NOTE: PIGMENT BAR photos are examples of past collections. Please refer to the mood board color palette photo for the color swatches for the WILD TERRAIN collection.
