"Sumi" means ink and "nagashi" means floating. In this absolutely magical experience we will be creating a floating piece of art on the surface of the water and capturing the swirling, ever-morphing moments as prints on paper and 4 coasters. The sake has a fun, unexpected interaction with the sumi ink in the art work so people who don't drink can still enjoy the sake. You will walk away with less stress and a renewed sense of wonder and creativity, and a Sumi kit that will last for years!
This event is a perfect pairing with our Santa's Sake Tasting Social
