The day starts at 10 a.m. with coffee and a look at the history of suminagashi and what you need to get started. There will be demonstrations and plenty of opportunities to unleash your creativity and to ask questions! The aim is to help you acquire the necessary skills to create your own designs at home.
Learning and playing with the process of suminagashi allows your creativity to flow as you make beautiful designs, each one quite different to the next. It’s such a meditative process, you may well be surprised at how immersed you become in the activity as you coax patterns from ink floating on water. No previous experience is required, curiosity is encouraged!
The workshop will give you an understanding of the materials, tools and process with plenty of practice on both small and large troughs. Take home many sheets of paper decorated with suminagashi for use in bookbinding and other paper arts.
Held in the barn at the beautiful Birches Farm Nature Reserve near Kington, Herefordshire.
Included in the cost are all materials and some refreshments (beverages and cake).
