Crafternoons at Parkgate: Wabi Sabi

Join us at Parkgate for our Crafternoon series!

Come and learn the concept of wabi-sabi while creating art. If you find beauty in the worn and weathered, then wabi-sabi is for you. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic based on the acceptance of impermanence and imperfection, and emphasizes a connection to nature and a focus on the present moment. Practicing wabi-sabi in art helps to develop a more free and playful mindset and creating art this way means there are no mistakes.

 

Whether you are a caregiver looking for respite or an adult wanting to have fun and learn a new skill, this is the class for you! All materials will be provided.

This workshop is for adults only - why should children have all the fun?!

Everyone carries the memories and feelings that are important to them in their minds and hearts.

Please feel free to bring one or two items that you consider having sentimental value and bring back a sense of nostalgia and remind you of home. This can be an item given to you by a loved one when you were a child; a family heirloom; an empty bottle of perfume; a written family recipe, or an item that you discovered while settling in a new home, .... It can be anything! Please show and tell other participants the short story behind the item that captivated you.
