Experience the beautiful contemplative practice of Japanese ink painting, Sumi-e. Beginners are welcome - no previous art or meditation experience is necessary.You will learn how to use 'the four treasures' of sumi (ink stick), suzuri (ink stone) brushes and rice paper, beginning with the ritual of mixing the ink which is a preliminary form of meditation. We will also share different brush techniques as well as gentle movement and breath awareness to help you find peace of mind and get your creative energy flowing.
All materials will be provided and you will leave with paintings that you can take home with you, although this art form is just as much about the state of mind you attain as you practice.
Our workshop will be held at Green Monday Studios, 73 Grattan St Carlton (please note our studio space is accessed via a flight of stairs). Pricing is tiered - you are welcome to choose between $60, $70 or $80 according to your financial situation.
We also have two scholarship places available in this workshop - if you would like to attend but finances are a barrier, please reach out via email to Jo ([email protected]) or Meah ([email protected]).
