About this Event
About Orizomegami:
Absorbent paper is folded and then dyed to produce interesting geometrical patterns when the paper is unfolded as practiced in Japan and around the world for centuries. Zen like in its folding, the ancient technique reminds us to be present in the moment. This exciting 2 hr workshop will introduce basic paper folds. We will then experiment with non toxic dye solutions resulting in beautiful papers that can be used in future art projects. All supplies included.
This workshop will be held in person at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art.
Class size limited to 15 students with a minimum of 4.
