Stitching & Sculpture with Japanese Paper (Konnyaku Workshop), July 12 10-4

Stitching & Sculpture with Japanese Paper (Konnyaku Workshop) with Loree Ovens
July 12, 10:00 - 4:00

You will be introduced to konnyaku, a traditional sizing used on Japanese paper. Learn how it
transforms Japanese paper, making it stronger and easier to manipulate. It is a very useful
preparation before stitching and for creating 3-dimensional forms.

In the afternoon, you will be able to create a small hand stitched or a sculptural piece using this technique. All materials are included. This workshop is suitable for all levels.
