Learn suminagashi
My next workshop for 2023
On Saturday October 14th, 10 - 4 at Birches Farm Nature Reserve near Kington, Herefordshire.
Starting 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 with an understanding of the materials, tools and process.
Take home many sheets of paper covered in suminagashi for use in bookbinding
and other paper arts.
£90 includes tuition, all materials and hot drinks & cake!
Please contact me to book.

Some kind words from workshop attendees.
Hello Sarah, Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day, meeting up with like minded people and learning a new skill. The thing that struck me the most, was how quickly we were able to produce an intricate piece of art we could all be proud of. Personally, I found the process of creating the designs and printing the papers very therapeutic and exciting. Certainly a great stress buster. Thank you again. Best wishes
Janet

I found the tuition useful- you gave just enough information so that my imagination was able to flow. You didn't hinder my creative process but rather gave just enough technique to begin my relationship with water printing. You spoke about the Japanese idea of 'less is more' and this invoked in me an absorbing inquiry into mindfulness, the breath and the experience of 'flow' that can easily be achieved through Suminagashi.
