We are very fortunate to have Junko running a Sumi-e Japanese ink art workshop at the library on Sunday 20th October. Sumi-e is the ancient art of Japanese brush painting.

Participants will learn to use different ink tones and brush techniques, and will create a unique piece of art to take home.  All materials are provided and all ages are welcome.

The workshop will be held on Sunday 20 October from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. This event is free for both members guests. Bookings can be made through Trybooking using this link.
