Chigiri-e Workshop
Chigiri-e is a traditional Japanese art form in which pictures are created from pieces of hand-torn Japanese paper called ‘washi’. In this workshop, I will show you how to create chigiri-e with modern material – newspaper.
My chigiri-e technique is simple and it requires few materials. After attending this workshop, you will be able to start making your own chigiri-e at home without getting any expensive materials.
Suitable for both adults and children (4+).
I deliver my workshops in the North East England (County Durham, Newcastle and surrounding areas). Please inquire if you are further afield.
