Sumi-e, the art of Japanese ink painting, is a captivating practice that goes beyond mere brushstrokes. It's a journey into mindfulness, an exploration of the interplay between ink and paper, and an appreciation for the subtle beauty found in nature. Rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics, Sumi-e encourages a deep connection with the moment and offers a unique way to express your inner world.
Join Sensei Emi, an award-winning Sumi ink artist with global recognition and nearly two decades of teaching experience. Emi shares her passion for Sumi-e and other Japanese arts, drawing from her rich background in tea ceremony and Ikebana to offer a truly holistic and enriching experience.
