About this Event
Find creative community and create your own collection of mesmerizing marbled papers in our upcoming workshop at Vjosa Cafe in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.
Sign up today for a night of relaxing artmaking and low pressure creativity. Guided by Kelly Laughlin, founder of Odette Press, you'll connect to creativity through ink, breath, paper, and water, and leave feeling inspired.
Suminagashi is the ancient, meditative Japanese art of paper marbling. Inspired by designs in nature, translating to "floating" or "spilled" ink, you'll learn this simple, awe-inspiring process and leave with a collection of papers great for framing, gifting, or adding art to your home.
This workshop is great for beginners, or anyone seeking a creative experience. Come alone, or save your spots with friends and make it a creative date night out.
Ticket includes all materials to make your collection of marbled papers and a tea or coffee drink from Vjosa Cafe.
