Dawn Tevis Japanese Water Marbling Class
Discover the meditative art of Suminagashi—Japanese water marbling—in an immersive, three-hour workshop guided by local artist Dawn Tevis at the Winona Arts Center Saturday November 14, from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Known for her calming, contemplative approach to “floating ink,” Dawn will guide you through the ancient 12th-century process of floating pigments on water to capture one-of-a-kind fluid designs. In this specialized class, you will transition traditional marbling techniques onto a prepped silk scarf (approximately 14” x 72”). You’ll start by experimenting with sample papers to find your creative flow and preferred colors before dipping your main piece. Watch your hand-manipulated patterns come to life as the silk absorbs the ink directly from the water’s surface. Beginners and experienced creators alike will leave with a wearable masterpiece. Cost: $65 includes all materials as well as prep of silk scarf . Optional Add-on: Add a silk handkerchief (approximately 11” x 11”). for an additional $15—perfect for creating a custom, matching set.
