Suminagashi – Dancing Ink (age 10 – 18)
Suminagashi is an ancient Japanese art form that uses ink to create breathtaking patterns on the surface of water, which are then delicately transferred onto paper or 3D objects. Imagine swirling colors dancing across water, creating intricate designs that seem to defy gravity. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with the Suminagashi technique yourself. We’ll experiment with different everyday objects to transfer the patterns onto – whether they’re fashion accessories, phone cases, old shoes, clothes, bottles, diaries, vases, or anything else you can think of! Objectives: to learn how to prepare the ink so that it expands on the surface of the water, get exposed to unique techniques to create hypnotizing patterns. By the end of the workshop, you will not only have learned the ancient art of Suminagashi, but also take home your own beautifully marbled creations.
