Practice Mindfulness through Chigiri-e: Tear, Craft, and Create

Note: There will be no workshop on December 30.
December 16th's workshop will be in the Tsubaki Room (2F) instead of the Tatami Room.

Come join us on Saturday mornings and learn from Yoriko Gillard, as she teaches traditional Japanese artforms in her weekly program, 'KIZUNA.' For December, we'll be focusing on Chigiri-e, or Japanese paper collage art!

Chigiri-e is a Japanese art form that centers around the use of traditional Japanese paper, known as "Washi." This art form encourages us to be more mindful of our daily lives, particularly our surroundings. In this workshop, we will exclusively use washi paper for creating Chigiri-e. You don't need any prior experience in art or painting to participate. Chigiri-e is suitable for individuals of all ages who have a love for and an appreciation of life's beauty as portrayed through art.

ちぎり絵ワークショップを行います。当日ドロップインで$5お支払いください。ご参加お待ちしております。
