CHIE & REI · KAKISHIBU WORKSHOP
Paint an ikkanbari bowl.
Stencil your own tote bag.
Explore kakishibu, a persimmon-tannin finish rooted in everyday Japanese craft. Brush natural color onto a bowl, make a pattern on fabric, and take home two pieces made by you.
Morning and afternoon sessions include the same two projects.
WORK WITH KAKISHIBU
Kakishibu has long been used to protect and finish objects in Japan. Its warm, earthy tones reveal the character of paper and cloth. Join Chie & Rei during their “Kakishibu Art” exhibition and discover the material through making.
TWO EXPERIENCES, ONE WORKSHOP
Everyone makes both pieces, whichever time you choose. You do not need to choose between the two projects.
Apply a persimmon-tannin finish with a brush to a bowl made using ikkanbari, a traditional craft technique involving Japanese paper. Explore how the surface changes with each brushstroke.
The finished bowl is not food-safe. Please use it to hold small objects rather than food or drinks.
Use stencils to add a kakishibu pattern to a cloth tote bag. Enjoy the natural color and make something you can use in everyday life.
Every morning and afternoon session includes BOTH the ikkanbari bowl finish and the stencil tote bag.
WHAT YOU WILL MAKE
Two handmade pieces, each with its own color and character. Take a little of this traditional material into your everyday life.
IN THE MAKING
A single video will introduce the kakishibu painting and stenciling processes. Coming soon.
