Workshop. Making flower compositions based on the Japanese painterly tradition

In this workshop, participants will create compositions of flowers and leaves inspired by the Japanese hanami tradition. Hanami—the custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers—dates back centuries but is still popular in contemporary Japan. A careful study of flower petals will allow participants to see beauty in tiniest details and later revisit it in their works.

Andon Workshop. Making Japanese paper lanterns

In this workshop, participants make andons—Japanese paper lamps. Andon means ‘walking light’, and indeed traditional andon lanterns consisting of bamboo (or, seldom, metal) frame and rice paper to protect and soften the light were very light and portable. Andons’ popularity peaked in the seventeenth century, during the Edo period.
