Suminagashi – Japanese paper marbling workshop

Join us for an inspiring workshop and let the colours and your thoughts flow, as you find peace and contemplation in the Japanese art of marbling. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own unique patterns on paper, using ink that moves organically and gently across the surface of the water.

During the workshop, Marie Frølich from Otaki Studio will introduce you to this technique, which dates back more than a thousand years, where ink patterns are created on the surface of the water and subsequently transferred onto paper. The process is both sensory and meditative – offering space for contemplation and creativity. The movements of the water and the small, random elements are part of the artistic expression.

The workshop is open to everyone (children aged 7 and over are welcome when accompanied by an adult), and you’ll get to take your own marbled creations home with you.

Through her travels in Japan, Marie Frøhlich has learnt Suminagashi from local artisans and now shares her knowledge and passion for this Japanese paper craft.
