Join artists Asha Vaidyanath and Kasia Borowiecka at Rouge a three hour multi-sensory workshop in learning to be in the moment through seeing, painting, arranging and capturing the essence of nature through summer flora.
Asha and Kasia will gently guide your experience which will start with you smelling, seeing and observing the shape and form of summer flora and creating your own versions of what you see with natural pigments on paper.
You will then be guided through the principals of Ikebana by Kasia as you make your own ikebana arrangements, and learn about how to see and make beauty with less, and with what’s easily available and seasonal.
And, finally we will talk about the transience and flow that is inherent in nature as you will be guided by Asha to compose the essence of nature through its colours with an art piece on a small piece of non-violent eri silk. You will explore the Japanese art of printing by hammering called Tataki Zome, and Asha’s improvised abstract version of it.
We will have a little break between sessions to share a ritual of tea/plum wine/cocktails and small eats in keeping with the sensory nature of the workshop.
As the workshop is sensory, it will be intimate with maximum of 10-12 people so we all can engage in a meaningful way.
All Materials included in this workshop: beautiful seasonal flowers, Ikebana Kenzen, handmade ceramic bowl, natural pigment and eri silk.
At Rouge Shop, 158 Stoke Newington High Street, London, N16 7JL
Workshop time 6:00pm to 9:00pm
