About the event
Lois has graciously offered to lead this exciting class.
Lois received her BS degrees in Microbiology and Medical Technology from the University of Washington. She studied with well-known Northwest sumi-e master Fumiko Kimura and master Asian brush calligrapher Mary Shizuka Bottomley. Lois is past president of the Puget Sound Sumi Artists organization and currently Education Committee Chair. Her award-winning sumi and Asian brush calligraphy paintings have been exhibited in the Northwest and internationally.
Asian brush calligraphy is an ancient art form that evolved over 3,000 years ago and is the foundation of sumi painting. Attendees of this class will work with the traditional tools of bamboo brush and sumi (ink) as they are introduced to the basic strokes of Chinese/Japanese characters and a few characters including snake as 2025 is the year of the snake.
