About the event
Discover the beauty and tranquility of Suminagashi, the ancient Japanese art of floating ink on water.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to gently drop ink onto the water’s surface, guide the flowing patterns, and transfer your one-of-a-kind designs onto paper. Each print is completely unique.
We’ll cover the basics of traditional technique while also encouraging experimentation with layering, color, and pattern. Whether you’re drawn to the meditative process or the bold, organic designs, this class offers a relaxing and inspiring creative experience.
No prior experience is necessary. Just come ready to slow down, explore, and let the ink flow.
