Japanese Papermaking Workshop for Beginnerswith Mami Takahashi
Participants will make traditional Japanese paper, called Washi, with human body-themed watermarks at this paper-making workshop. Washi is typically made from Japanese Mulberry or Mitsumata wood bark. These barks are used daily in Japan, and they include architectural elements like Shoji screens and folding fans.
All levels are welcome to enjoy this workshop!
