For three thousand years, the East Asian cultures of China, Korea, and Japan have expressed their love of nature with simple, yet, refined tools...brush, ink, inkstone, and rice paper. These workshops are for those interested in learning and using the traditional tools and techniques of Asian Brush Painting ("sumi-e" in Japan).
Through step-by-step instructor demonstrations and hands-on brush painting projects using the "Four Treasures", you will explore this ancient and elegant art and leave class with two completed projects. Subjects for each workshop vary. Additionally, we explore the fundamentals of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy.
NO PREVIOUS ART EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. Classroom materials provided (bring your own if you have them). Against a backdrop of meditative music, these workshops are your doorway to the exciting, yet, contemplative world of Asian art.
Workshops at my studio are small (usually eight participants) and may fill up quickly. Workshops generally are from 10-4PM with a forty five minute lunch break. Bring a bag lunch or eat locally. Light beverages and snacks provided.
