NEW ☆Book Arts Week 2: 19-23 july introductory/basic
Increasingly artists are revisiting the art of the book as a unique mode of expression in its
own right and finding novel ways to combine illustration, calligraphy, papers and creative
binding. Previously available only as a weekend option, this exciting Book Arts course is
offered now as a summer school week. Working with specialist tutors in different disciplines,
you will learn a range of skills. By the end of the course you will have a distinctive, hand-
made artefact which combines several techniques. |
| | ★ 和紙作りと日本での体験 (Chrissie Heughan) | In 2001 I was awarded a bursary from the Japanese Cultural
affairs to live in Mino, Gifu Prefecture and study washi (paper)
for three months. I flew out on September 11 and was met
at Nagoya International Airport by a lovely welcoming group of
Mino people. I stayed with the Wakahara family in Mino.
Mino means the 'Heart of japan' and is on the middle island
called Honshu.Kineko Wakahara cooked beautiful Japanese
food and took me out to many sushi restaurants and visits to
Nagoya to the paper Gallery.
There were four other international artists plus a Japanese
artist fromKyoto. We all had a bicycle and an umbrella to keep
out the sun (and rain sometimes). We were taught traditional
Japanese paper making by a maestro papermaker at the Mino
Washi Museum where I learnt how to mix and work with Kozo
fibres which are from the mulberry family. I have great memori
es of working outside in the 'Udatsu' garden pouring Kozo onto
large screens and letting the paper dry in the sun whilst listen-
ing to the birds singing, insects buzzing and the chatter of the
village people. I kept a sketchbook in which I drew daily of my
surroundings; mountains, the rivers, houses, people and temples.
I visited many shrines and temples and also travelled to Kana-
zawa to look at the famous garden there and fish market and the
golden temples there. Itravelled on the bullet train to Tokyo so
that I could see Mount Fuji (Fujisan) which is magnificent and
very elegant too. I also visited Kyoto when the maple leaves
were red and yellow. I found Sanju-Sangen-Do which is the
oldest and longest wooden temple in Japan with 1001 golden
Buddhist deities. |  | Title: 'Udatsu Garden'
