Saturday, November 29; 1–4pm CT
Immerse yourself in the oldest form of marbling, Suminagashi 墨流し (“spilled or floating ink”).
In this one-day, in-person workshop, we will explore the materials, techniques, and history of this art before spending most of the workshop practicing this meditative art. We will play with paper and tools; feel free to bring in your own. This art form is a great way to practice meditation as it is all about exploring the different variations of repetitive movement. Everyone will go home with a set of notecards.
Wear clothes that can get dirty and non-slip, supportive, water-resistant shoes (i.e., rubber boots, garden clogs, etc.). Participants may need to return to pick up their paper on Saturday, 12/6, or later in The Shop at MCBA to allow the wet sheets of paper time to dry.
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category A or D
