Sumi-e Painting - In Person Workshop
Japanese Ink with Junko Azukawa
by Kami
Junko Azukawa is renowned for her Sumi Painting and Japanese Calligraphy. We fell in love with her work the first time we saw it. Junko will host and teach this 2 hour Sumi-e Ink class.
You will learn basic Sumi-e painting strokes for traditional subjects like bamboo, flower or dragonfly. During the session, you will perfect one of the subjects taught for the week and create your own masterpiece towards the end of the lesson under Junko's guidance.
Our class is intentionally small so that everyone gets our undivided attention.
Knowledge Required: Perfect for beginners and is a great indoor activity idea for individuals, couples, group of friends and kids (minimum 14 years old).
If you would like to take this lesson with your family member, all you have to do is to buy an extra brush and join us.
The respective class subject we will focus on:
30 Jan 2021 - Peony
20 Feb 2021 - Cherry Blossom

This was a wonderful class. Junko is a delightful, and engaging teacher. The class was fun and instructive and it was really nice to work with ink - my first time. Of course - she made it all look so effortless and easy. I recommend.
