Edition No. 225
Introduction to Kirie, the Japanese Art of Paper Cutting
In this workshop Nobuko Yamaski will teach Kirie, the ancient Japanese art of paper cutting. A noted cutout picture artist is the late Takidaira Jiro.
To make Kirie art, the class will cut out a simple design in black paper, then lay it on a sheet of Bristol paper colored with pencils in bright colors. Because Kirie takes cutting skills, this is a perfect follow-up class for students who have taken Japanese woodblock classes.
Students are asked to bring their design, a ruler, a red ball pen, carving knives, tape, and colored pencils.
The Grosse Pointe Artist Association event is set for April 26 at 10 a.m.
