Create original washi tape collages using authentic Japanese washi tape. Washi Tape is a masking tape made from rice paper and provides an adherence to a variety of surfaces. This course is taught by local artist and educator Lennie Ciliento, who uses washi tape to create pictures depicting everything from wildlife to scenes of everyday city life. Students will learn basic layering, shaping, and cutting techniques which will enable them to independently create one-of-a-kind washi tape collages. The primary focus of the course is on developing techniques to create original washi tape collages. Possessing basic knowledge of drawing and design skills are helpful but not a prerequisite for participation in the course.

We will discuss the various tools and materials used in this popular medium. There will be morning and afternoon demonstrations. Students are encouraged to to have several projects started on the first day, so they can dry a little overnight for work the second day. We will experiment with texture. Students can start with acrylics, if they wish, and build up with oil and cold wax, or they can start and continue with oil and cold wax. Oil/cold wax is an exciting medium with many possibilities. My goal is for students to explore and learn to develop their own techniques.
