28Muses: Suminagashi+Sake Holiday Bash NY/Virtual

New York, NY
Arts & Crafts Classes
 

Suminagashi, Japanese for “floating ink”, is a traditional art form from the 12th century that reveals the mesmerizing, ever-changing nature of water. Available IRL in NYC at venue/client office/NYC park outdoors + available virtually on Zoom

We will be creating a floating piece of art on the surface of the water and capturing the swirling, ever-morphing moments as prints on paper and 4 coastes. Participants will gain a new understanding of fluid dynamics as we incorporate natural forces, such as breath and vibration, into our art to create visual harmony. You will walk away with less stress and a renewed sense of wonder and creativity, and a Sumi kit for de-stressing that will last for years!

About the 28Muses cultivator:
Natalie Stopka is a NYC-based artist focused on creative processes rooted in the materials and forces of the natural world. Her pursuit of historical surface patterning techniques includes natural dyeing, pigment extraction, marbling, and printmaking. These meticulous, layered processes incorporate materials grown in her studio dye garden.

28Muses offers interactive experiences that balance hands-on, creative action with research-based facilitation maximizing fun, engagement, empathy, and connection.  We believe creativity is the greatest human unifier, which transcends distance, differences, generations, and silos.

What's Included

28Muses suminagashi kits include ink, surfactant, tray, brushes, paper and 4 coasters for a basic kit. Sake optional. Available IRL in NYC at client office, restaurant/venue, NYC outdoors such as Pier 64 or Bryant Park, or as part of a larger event. When IRL, participants can keep the kit or simply experience it as part of several activities. When virtual, kits are mailed to each participant in advance (with or without sake).

Add-ons

Sake (6oz) is optional as an add-on. Sake is used in the artwork itself for anyone who doesn't drink! The sake has a crazy, unexpected reaction with the link. Pairs well with other 28Muses experiences such as Haiku where participants will write a short poem about their favorite moment in nature.
