Ise-Katagami stencil

Autumn artwork

                          Ise-katagami Stencil, one of the Japanese fine handcraft arts,
                          is originally used for dyeing patterns into Kimono textiles. It is made
                          of Japanese paper with tanning persimmon juice and its carving work
                          requires a skillful technique from the past and tremendous amount of
                          time. Added the word of autumn to the drawing.

2012秋 Autumn Art & Tea Workshop



Traditional tea ceremony, sweets make and we drew our own autumn with a guide of professionals....Hope everyone enjoyed the peaceful afternoon on Sunday.

To learn how to use brush, mix colours,  position your drawing expands more imagination.




Some used water colours, some with stencils. Soft Japanese calligraphy adds an essence to the drawing.




Peaceful and relaxed time for everyone.




Sometime, children are genius for creation.



Loved this part, sweets making! Learned the basics.



A little nervous in a special tea room, being served a green tea later.




Welcomed all to a nice tea room with a view of beautiful garden.




Some drawing samples helped everyone to start and expand imagination on their own.
