Suminagashi (Japanese Marbled Paper)

For kids of all ages!

Sumingashi literally translates in “floating ink.” As the name suggests, the process consists of marbling rice paper with water and ink, transforming a plain sheet into something vibrant and colorful. Join us as we float ink and learn to create beautiful sheets of marbled paper!
