We will also have a silent auction of art supplies at this October workshop. If you have extra supplies like brushes, paper, books, ink and so on, donate them. If you are looking for art supplies, here is a chance to get them at a very reasonable price. All proceeds go to the Sumi-e Artists of Canada.
Looking Back to September: Orizome with Sigrid Blohm taught us this old art of folding paper and using inks to create spectacular patterns. Our past workshops can be seen at Workshops and Shows.
Looking Forward to November 11th and 12th: Our annual exhibition is coming! If you are contributing paintings or cards, see the letter recently sent to you about submissions to this show. Also, help us out by contributing some time. We love to put on shows of sumi-e art, and hundreds of art lovers come to see this unique show, but it requires a lot of effort. Our past shows can be seen in Workshops and Shows.
