Step into the ancient Japanese art of Suminagashi, a meditative and deeply beautiful form of marbling that has been practiced for over a thousand years. In this virtual workshop, your group will experience the calming, almost hypnotic process of floating Sumi Ink on water and coaxing it into one-of-a-kind patterns, then transferring those patterns onto wooden coasters and delicate rice paper to create pieces that are genuinely unique to each participant.
Part art class, part cultural immersion, this workshop offers a genuine moment of mindfulness and creativity in an otherwise busy day.
