About the event
Celebrate cozy winter with 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 you connect more deeply with the season and yourself. You'll float ink in dynamic patterns on water and print unique images on paper and cardboard coasters. Leave with a set of 4 one-of-a-kind coasters to level up your holiday and winter gatherings and various practice papers that can be enjoyed on their own or used as background for writing, painting, drawing, and more. Also included will be a take-home supply of protective finish to apply once they dry.
Through the beauty and simplicity of suminagashi, we celebrate curiosity, intuition, and surprise. No experience necessary.
Limited to 15 registrants, ages 12 and up. $42 (includes supplies)
