Suminagashi Marbling- A Creative Practice 6/27/26
Suminagashi Marbling- A Creative Practice 6/27/26
Join us at our NEW ATELIER for a Saturday afternoon immersion in the wild, ephemeral world of suminagashi marbling.
Developed in 12th century Japan alongside the traditions of Zen Buddhism and the aesthetic philosophy known as Wabi Sabi, this technique of “floating ink” harnesses the surface tension of water to produce original artworks (mono prints) which artist Mary Wipf eloquently refers to as “pictures of wind on water.”
In our workshop, we will PLAY, learn, laugh, work together, and come to love our mishaps as we move through a progression of techniques designed to help us access our intuition and arrive at that coveted state of creative power called FLOW.
Practiced regularly, suminagashi is a remarkable way to unlock stuck creativity, promote mindfulness, and send a spark into all your creative endeavors. It is particularly wonderful for those who work in water-based media such as watercolor.
We look forward to seeing you for this wonderful community-building experience. Be prepared to have your mind (and creative processes) blown!!
All materials are included and all skill levels welcome. Students will leave with 10-12 unique art papers.
NOTE: We will be working both indoors and out in our beautiful new space, so dress to get messy, dress for the weather, and bring whatever snacks, sun protection, and note taking accoutrements you would like for a fun- and sun-filled day.
Heather holds a BFA degree with a specialization in oil painting. Endlessly curious, she discovered the practice of suminagashi in 2023, and was instantly drawn to its simple elegance, its lessons, and its boundless potential to free her from her inner critic.
