Practice the meditative process of suminagashi, or ink floating, a Japanese paper marbling art at least as old as the 12th century. Learn creative techniques, including color mixing and overmarbling (printing a paper twice), to help connect you more deeply with the natural world and yourself. You’ll float ink in dynamic patterns on water and print unique images on paper.
Leave with a set of 5 notecards made of 100% cotton paper with Kraft envelopes and various practice papers that can be enjoyed on their own or used as background for writing, painting, drawing, and more. Through the beauty and simplicity of suminagashi, we celebrate curiosity, intuition, and surprise.
Bring a place- or landscape-themed picture or nature item (like a leaf or stick or flower) that inspires you, if you’d like. No experience necessary.
