Date: Sun 30 August | 2pm–4pm
Suminagashi, meaning 'floating ink', is an ancient Japanese art of paper marbling that began over 800 years ago. Traditionally practised outdoors, this peaceful process encourages us to slow down, observe and work gently with the movement of water.
Weather permitting, we'll take our workshop beneath the trees in Abbotsbury, where you'll have the chance to create your own floating ink patterns inspired by the surroundings. If the weather isn't suitable, we'll return to the studio and continue indoors.
You will learn:
The basics of the Suminagashi process.
How to create delicate floating ink patterns.
Techniques for transferring your designs onto paper.
Please bring a bowl and two cups; we’ll provide everything else. We will meet at the studio at 1.45pm before walking together to our outdoor location. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or carer.
