Wabi Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic. This Japanese aesthetic is a beauty of things imperfect, incomplete and impermanent...rustic, earthy, textured, and organic. On the first day I will demonstrate how to hand paint Japanese washi papers using acrylic paints and a Gelli printing plate. Artists will then make their own papers in the spirit of wabi sabi...using paint, washi papers, rubber stamps, stencils, stamping tools. On the second day, artists will learn simple compositions, design elements and principles based on Zen tenets like balance and harmony. They will then create their own collages using their papers, with my individual help.
