This is the first workshop in a 7-workshop series led by teaching artist Cindy Gipple and organized by Nic Rosenau. It was designed by Séamus Blake, Cindy Gipple, and Angela Hed Vincent.

This unique series of workshops is limited to just 10 students ensuring individualized attention and plenty of “elbow room” for the creative process.

Suminagashi ( 墨 流 し ) [sue-me-NAH-gah-she] paper marbling is the ancient Japanese technique of decorating paper with inks. It is believed to be the oldest form of marbling, originating in China over 2,000 years ago and practiced in Japan by Shinto priests as early as the 12th century. Suminagashi means literally “ink-floating” and involves doing just that. Japanese Sumi-e inks are dropped carefully to float on a still water surface and then blown across to form delicate swirls, after which the ink is picked up by laying a sheet of paper atop the ink covered water.

Combining fluid mechanics with artistic talent, an artist can control the floating pigments to form concentric rings of colors with a brush, other tools, or even their breath to create images suggestive of mountain ranges, landscapes, clouds and animals before printing them on a sheet of paper.
