Kinusaiga ~ Japanese Fabric Art

Kinusaiga translated from Japanese, means Silk Painting.  In this workshop, you will learn while doing, the new trending Japanese tradition of painting with fabric.  This art form was born in the 80's as a way to use the beautiful scraps from making fine silk kimonos.  Today, it is a past time enjoyed internationally, which creates wall art in the same way.   We'll take you through the process by supplying you with a kit in order to save time, and you will proceed through direction and guidance to create your first Kinusaiga "Painting".
