This class is for beginners.

There are 8 Yobitsugi sets available. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \nThe one-hour private lesson on zoom is with the artist\, Tomomi Kamoshita\, based in Tokyo\, and facilitator\, Maki Aizawa in Sonoma\, California. We will work on “Yobitsugi” with a set selected and prepared by Tomomi in Japan. \nThe collection of dishes and cups are from the Edo Period to the Showa Period. As is the nature of antique pieces\, each plate is unique and different. We have 8 “Yobitsugi” sets available and we will only have one participant in a lesson with Tomomi and Maki. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \nAn individual online class costs $150 and the material for a Modern Kintsugi kit and the “Yobitsugi” set is $125.

The Japanese culture and aesthetics have fascinated and influenced her ever since\, leaving marks in almost all of her projects. \nVeronika’s creative use of materials is what first attracts to her work. Plastic\, acrylic\, latex\, felt\, wood\, oil\, and vintage tissue are unusual substrates in modern bookmaking. \nVeronika has created the book-making workshops especially for the Sonoma Cultural Exchange. We are using a few types of handmade mulberry paper dyed in persimmon from Japan\, shibugami and katagami (traditionally used for paper stencils for dyeing textiles.) \nBefore attending Codex Foundation Symposium and Book Fair\, February 3-6\, 2019\, Veronika will present her books at Sonoma Community Center on January 30\, 2019 from 5-6pm. \nThen the workshops will be offered twice in a private residence in Sonoma and at Workshop Residence in San Francisco. \nAll materials are provided except a ruler and a mat. Please bring these with you. \nPlease visit Veronika’s project for more information. URL:https://amu-arts.org/event/veronika-schaepers-january-2019/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
