Join artist Dominique Prévost for a lively, colour-filled afternoon of suminagashi on washi, creative exploration, and fun!
Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese technique of decorating paper with inks. It is believed to be the oldest form of marbling,
originating in China over 2,00 years ago and practiced in Japan by Shinto priests as early as the 12th century. Originally used as a subtle background for calligraphy, the new colour intense inks bring it to the forefront! Experience this highly meditative technique and create your own masterpieces!
Join Dominique Prévost for three hours of colourful explorations of this wonderful technique. You will explore various suminagashi pattern-making techniques on a choice selection of Japanese paper (washi). Dominique will also present a short talk and demo on how to use your completed suminagashi pieces.
Cost: $125 - Preregistration required.
