Sumi-e - Japanese Ink Block Painting Workshop

Join us to try this ancient Japanese monochrome ink art form. You will be using your own ink block and natural bamboo paint brushes. You will learn basic brush stroke techniques, and practice making images such as bamboo stems, cherry blossom, goldfish, Asian landscape or anything of your choice. Your final artwork will be placed in a magnetic frame for you to take home! This art form has Zen Buddhism roots and the aim is to capture the spirit of the subject rather than an exact copy. This is a relaxing, creative experience suitable for all!
