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!
