Join us to experience a beginner friendly Japanese ink painting workshop at Tatton Park.
Get creative with some Sumi-e brush painting. Learn how to paint seasonal topics in an expressive style using Sumi Ink and Bamboo brushes.
This class will begin with an introduction to the materials as well as a demonstration for you to follow. The workshop will be split into multiple sessions, each beginning with a teacher demonstration. Each time you will try a different topic which will involve different types of techniques and brush strokes. The first section will be simpler and the difficulty will increase slightly each time.
We will cover seasonal topics from Japanese Art as well as topics related to Tatton Park and its Japanese Garden. We use a variety of painting materials that will be selected depending on the topic of the day.
This workshop is suitable for everybody, whether you're an aspiring artist looking for a new challenge or you've always wanted to learn how to paint, you'll love this creative workshop experience.
