Schweitzer Klassifikation
Lucy Mayes is a UK-based artist and pigment maker whose work revolves around creating pigments under her brand London Pigment, developing her painting practice, and leading pigment-making courses.
Her fascination with the materiality of colour and the craft of pigment processing began during her studies at The Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University, and The Royal College of Art. With a strong commitment to sustainable practices, she explores the rich history and science of pigments while championing ecologically responsible approaches. By bridging traditional techniques with contemporary artistic practice, she encourages ethical and mindful engagement with colour.
