A day to explore the Contemplative Mind - Spontaneous Brush union. Ink, paint, washi, and peace combine in a blaze of colourful creativity.
About this Event

We welcome the return of artist and meditation guide, the endlessly curious, Heather Midori Yamada.

Using guided meditation and breath work, Heather will lead you to a place of ease, clarity, and creativity from which to explore brush, ink, and colour on washi.
Brush demonstrations using sumi ink and colour will help you to uncover your own unique, spontaneous, naturalistic, and abstract imagery. Explore subtle translucency, pattern and texture using various washi supports and additions in this all-level workshop.

This is an active workshop. Please be prepared to move. If you have concerns about your ability to participate, please email Paula ([email protected])
For those who have participated in Heather's workshops in the past, she promises new exercises and explorations.

All tools and materials will be provided.


Participants are asked to:
  • dress comfortably in clothes that can get messy, or bring an apron
  • bring your lunch

The ticket price for this workshop includes $160.00 workshop fee, Eventbrite fees and HST for a total cost of $194.05


About Heather Midori Yamada
Heather Midori Yamada has been exploring and creating with washi since the 1980’s, beginning in printmaking at Toronto’s Open Studio. Her chine collé, monotypes and collographs led to direct painting and collaging with washi in banners, collages and mixed media paintings.
Influencing her art making, Heather has been a student and teacher of contemplative arts, including hatha yoga, ikebana, Japanese floral arrangement, and buddhist meditation, among others.
