Suminagashi 2: Meditating on the Landscape
Taught by Kelly Laughlin
Kelly Laughlin is a multidisciplinary artist and educator who focuses on the playful, meditative acts of making. She believes every person is capable of living a creative life. Kelly is the founder of Odette Press, a paper marbling and bookbinding studio focused on specialty papers, books, and stationery, created with the intention to support self discovery and healing through the act of writing.
In this workshop, you’ll explore paper marbling, color mixing and making connections to patterns in the landscape. Using the ancient Japanese process of Suminagashi, you’ll be guided through color mixing, and hone in on your marbling skills. Meditate on ink, breath, pattern, line, and landscape in this experience. You’ll walk away with a collection of earth-inspired papers.
All materials provided. Bring a favorite landscape photo, favorite memory of a place, or look to the surrounding environment for color, pattern, and design inspiration.
