About This Event
Learn the art of Japanese Papermaking with Takahashi Sensei!
Japanese Papermaking Workshop
At this papermaking workshop, participants will make traditional Japanese paper, called Wash from the fibers processed by the bark of Kozo (Japanese marybery) tree. Washi is typically made by Japanese Mulberry or Mitsumata wood bark and has been used in Japanβs everyday life, including architectural elements like Shoji screens and folding fans. Participants will decorate the wet fibers after scooping them from a fibered water container. The instructor will supply all materials. All levels are welcome to enjoy this workshop!
For ages 7 years & up.
5 student minimum
