103 The East Mall\, Unit 1 Toronto \, ON M8Z 5X9 Canada

DESCRIPTION:Artist demonstrations on Seichosen and Seiksosen Washi accomp anied by an exhibition of finished work on the same papers. Join us for a washi-ful afternoon as we celebrate the work of Canadian artists using S eichosen and Seikosen washi made by Akari Osaki and family. Artists will be demonstrating various media and techniques — from paper engineering\ , to painting\, printmaking\, and more. We invite you to meet the artists \, talk to them about their work and their use of washi. The papermakers will also be on site and will be demonstrating the making of a special br ush used for smoothing wet sheets of washi onto boards for drying. You ma y not immediately recognize the Osaki name\, but many artists will recogn ize the exceptional papers they make: Seichosen Kozo and Seikosen Mitsuma ta Heritage Washi. Made from 100% Japanese-grown fibres\, using time-hono ured techniques passed down through generations\, these papers represent more than outstanding materials\; they embody a living tradition\, a deep respect for natural resources\, and a commitment to making some of the m ost enduring and sustainable papers available today. Look for demonstrati ons by: · Megan Bray: Gouache · Sandie Collins: Large-format hand-print ing linocut · Hisanao Kataoka: papermaker\, making a straw brush · Hele n McCusker: Paper Engineering (pop up structures) · Liz Menard: Soft pas tel · Dominque Prevost: Watercolour/Suminagashi/Collage This event is Pa y What You Can. We suggest a donation of $20\; please know\, every donati on is welcome and greatly appreciated. Grants or subsidies are sometimes available to papermakers for travel outside of Japan. Unfortunately\, no funding was available to the Osaki's. All donations will be given to the Osaki family to offset the cost of their visit and encourage the continue d pursuit of excellence in their papermaking. The exhibition will be avai lable for viewing from Monday 28 September to Friday 30 October\; weekday s between 9:30am and 4:30pm. No admission fee to view the exhibition.\n\n Event page: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/celebrating-osaki-washi-exhibiti on-and-demonstrations-tickets-1999031039652\n\nLocal's Dozen: https://loc alsdozen.com/\n\nGet the weekly dozen: https://localsdozen.com/#/portal/s ignup URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/celebrating-osaki-washi-exhibition-and-d emonstrations-tickets-1999031039652 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
