Makie
Introductory Class
Would you like to design your
own Makie?
|
|
Makie is a decorative method applied onto lacquer
coating. The exquisiteness of this technique was fully
developed in Kyoto, the cultural and political capital, in the 6th
Century.
The process of
"Makie" starts with drawing a pattern to a piece of waxy
paper. When this drawing on the paper is pressed onto a lacquer
coated surface (such as a tray or bowl), then you are ready to
trace this design with a fine brush dipped into yellow-colored lacquer (
Cashew paint). Before this lacquer dries out,
gold or silver powder is sprinkled over. This powder is adhered to
the lacquer drawing and hardens over night. This process is
repeated until desired design is accomplished.
Our hands-on
Makie-introductory class will offer a great cultural experience.
Have fun to make your own souvenir!
