Presented by visiting Japanese Artist Ayaka Uchida
Friday, September 5th from 1:00pm - 4:30pm
The Atherton Arts Foundation Studio, Holbrook Palmer Park, Atherton
Moving back to Japan after 24 years in the USA, Ayaka started learning the traditional mineral pigment painting process called Nihonga. It taught her a slower, quieter, more present, and immersive way to observe God’s creation.
Ayaka is coming to the Bay Area and has graciously offered to present her knowledge and skill to us in this immersive workshop where you will learn the traditional technique of Nihonga, often known as "slow art”, due to the mindful process it embodies.
Ayaka will prepare all the materials ahead of the class. She grinds the pigments from natural materials - minerals, gemstones, rocks, dirt, and shells, to create beautiful vibrant colors. The paper is also handmade from natural materials, as is the glue which you will use to bind the pigment. Thus, every part of the process is part of the earth, so this is environmentally safe and responsible.
All materials are provided by Ayaka, and the $30 cost is included in the fee.
EARLY BIRD SPECIAL PRICE $85 GOOD UNTIL midnight, July 26.
