Classes
Saturday July 19: Intro to Scrimshaw with Ulysses Jackson
Let’s scratch the surface of this magical art. We will make our tools, prepare a surface, learn shading techniques, and tips around pigmenting.
Saturday August 2: How to Wrap Five Eggs with Brendan Gaffney
Learn two examples of pre-industrial Japanese packaging and ornament. Tamagotsuto, made famous by the classic book on Japanese packaging “How to Wrap Five Eggs,” is a deceptively simple process of wrapping eggs for transport and sale, using only natural plant fibers. Shimekazari is the practice of weaving straw rope and wreaths, often practiced around shrines and gates in Japan around the New Year.
Off we go.
