On September 17, we had an opportunity to host a suminagashi workshop with artist/instructor Dominique Prevost. Dominique was born in Québec City and now resides in Oakville, Ontario, a renowned suminagashi artist and dedicated washi user.

Create circles by dropping different colours of ink

By moving the water surface gently, you can create complex patterns.

Look how many different results we've got!

Here are some reviews from the workshop:

"Pure happiness — in the flow — concentration level I haven't experienced in years."

"We had lots of time to explore the art. It was nice to try out the different papers. Extremely satisfied."
