Crafts and Craft Ales: Suminagashi Coaster Workshop

Grab a beer (first one is included in ticket price!) and make something unique and beautiful. This workshop will get you into a zone of zen working with paper, water and ink by using the techniques of Suminagashi, Japanese for “floating ink”.  

Suminagashi is a traditional art form from the 12th century that reveals the mesmerizing, ever-changing nature of water. We will be creating a floating piece of art on the surface of the water and capturing the swirling, ever morphing moments on coasters.  Take advantage of local brews offered by Idle Hands Craft Ales, while you work with ink and water to create gorgeously and uniquely marbled drink coasters using the Suminagashi technique!

Materials Included: Marbling ink (multiple colors), up to 12 coasters / person, soft-hair brushes, shallow trays, all the supplies needed

Duration:  60min.  Please book at least 24hrs prior to the start of the event so we can have the materials ready for you.  

Location:  Idle Hands Craft Ales-89 Commercial St, Malden, MA 02148
