Stilling the mind and calming the breath with short guided meditations, artist Heather Midori Yamada, will lead you to a place of ease and clarity. Brush demonstrations using sumi ink and colour will help you to uncover your own unique and spontaneous, naturalistic and abstract imagery. Explore subtle translucency, pattern and texture using various washi supports and additions in this all-level workshop.

All tools and materials will be provided. Participants are asked to:

  • dress comfortably in clothes that can get messy, or bring an apron
  • bring your lunch

About Heather Midori Yamada
Heather Midori Yamada has been exploring and creating with washi since the 1980’s, beginning in printmaking at Toronto’s Open Studio. Her chine collé, monotypes and collographs led to direct painting and collaging with washi in banners, collages and mixed media paintings.

Influencing her art making, Heather has been a student and teacher of contemplative arts, including hatha yoga, ikebana, Japanese floral arrangement, and buddhist meditation, among others.
