About this Event

Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese technique of decorating paper with inks. It is believed to be the oldest form of marbling, originating in China over 2,000 years ago and practiced in Japan by Shinto priests as early as the 12th century.

Originally used as a subtle background for calligraphy, the new colour-intense inks bring it to the forefront! Experience this highly meditative technique and create your own masterpieces! Dominique Prevost will be your guide for three hours of colourful discoveries using this wonderful technique. You will explore various suminagashi pattern-making techniques on a choice selection of washi (Japanese paper). Dominque will also present a short talk and demo of how to use your completed suminagashi pieces. Participants are requested to wear a mask indoors.

Please bring the following items:

  • apron
  • notebook and pen/pencil
