The Alchemy of Art: Hand-Crafting Watercolors at SVT! 🧪🖌🎨
Some of our Art students are going behind the scenes of the creative process by manufacturing their own watercolors from scratch!
Using the traditional method of mulling raw pigments into a Gum Arabic binder, students are learning how the chemistry of materials affects the quality of their work.
🧪 The Science: Gum Arabic is a natural resin that keeps the pigment suspended and gives watercolor its signature transparency and glow. 🛠️ The Craft: It takes a steady hand and a glass muller to ensure the pigment is perfectly smooth and ready for the brush.
We love seeing our students blend technical skill with artistic vision. Students will use their paints to create their own art pieces too. Great job, SVT artists!

Proud of these students for stepping up at the Kitsap Home & Remodel Expo. They volunteered their time to help younger students experience the trades by working with them at our playhouse painting booth.
It was great to see both former and current students leading, teaching, and representing the program.

⚓ NCTA Maritime students showcased both creativity and technical skills at last week’s Blue Tech by the Bay event!
Students decorated old net floats for a community art exhibit while also demonstrating their hands-on training by repairing a simulated pressurized leak. From artistic expression to real-world maritime problem solving, our students continue to show the wide range of skills being developed in the Maritime program.
Great job representing NCTA and the future of the maritime industry!
