Join us on Friday, September 5, 1:00-4:30 pm at the Atherton Arts Foundation Studio in Holbrook Palmer Park, Atherton, CA. Visiting Japanese Artist, Ayaka Uchida, will share her love of the traditional art of Nihonga, often called “Slow Art”. All materials are natural: Ayaka grinds her pigments from minerals, gemstones, rocks, dirt, and shells, to create vibrant colors that you will mix with natural glue and paint onto paper also made by hand from natural materials. It is an intensely mindful process that brings joy and, as Ayaka has personally experienced, allows us to let hope rise within ourselves.
