Workshops

Colour selection doesn’t have to be based on guesswork.

Pigment’s small group workshops are designed for both homeowners and professionals seeking practical, design-led guidance to build confidence in their colour decisions.

Whether you’re working on your own scheme or guiding others through theirs, our workshops offer a collaborative, hands-on environment to explore colour with focus and creativity.

Colour Direction Workshop

A 2-hour working studio for homeowners

Saturday 23 May, 10am - 12pm $165 limited to 8 places Central Auckland venue

Most people don’t need more inspiration. They need help making decisions.

This workshop is a small group working session designed to help you move your project forward — with expert input, in real time.

If you’ve got plans, materials or a shortlist of colours but can’t quite pull it all together, this is exactly what it’s for.

Materials and paint colour ready for selection

How it works

We start with a short introduction to how colour works across a home — how light, materials and layout all influence the outcome.

From there, you’ll focus on your own project, with guidance as you go.

I’ll be working across the group, helping you refine decisions, troubleshoot problem areas, and shape a direction that feels resolved and right for your home.

What to bring

  • Material samples (stone, flooring, tiles)

  • Floorplans (if you have them)

  • Any colour swatches or shortlists you’re considering

Don’t worry if you don’t have everything sorted — I’ll have plenty of options to work with on the day.

The outcome

You’ll leave with a clear direction and the confidence to move forward, knowing your colours and materials are working together.

  • "Thanks so much for this, it is so helpful and detailed and hugely appreciated. Looking forward to the brushouts arriving. More people should know about Pigment, it is really excellent! I will recommend you to anyone I know grappling with paint decisions."

    — Anna, St Heliers

  • "We had a sense of what we wanted but not the confidence to get there. Left to our own devices we probably would’ve defaulted to white, listened to everyone else and played it safe.”

    — Matt, Grey Lynn

  • "Nobody wants to get a colour on the wall and then be disappointed or worse still requesting for it to be changed. Amie really listens to your brief and gives you a range of options to choose from. She encourages you to be brave and look at colours that you may not have initially selected yourself. This brings you a result that is so exciting!"

    — Kirsten, Epsom

  • "I feel you’ve answered my brief perfectly, and I truly appreciate the thought and care you’ve put into it."

    Thomas, Architect | Auckland

  • "We have absolutely loved the experience of working with you and have been raving about it with our friends! "

    — Julia, Beach Haven

  • "I was completely overwhelmed by the colour choices for my first home renovation, but working with Amie changed everything. She was a brilliant listener who truly understood my vision for a relaxing space. Her recommendations were so helpful and made me see my home in a new light. I love every single room, and I couldn't be happier with the results”

    — Melissa, Browns Bay
