2-day Workshop, Flower Artistry, Leather and Silk Flower
In this 2 days workshop the students learned a famous Japanese flower making technique, Somebana. This enables the students to individualize each and every flower. The flowers made using this technique look much more realistic than flowers made with traditional flower making techniques. Based on the Japanese silk flower making technique, students will learn how to apply this knowledge and skills to leather.
On the first day of the class students made a silk Old English Rose (David Austin Rose) in Somebana technique.
On the second day of the class, students created one or two flowers from leather.
Learning outcomes:
Students were guided through all the stages of the process of creating flowers from silk and leather. This included dying the silk, assembling and finishing techniques. Students learned how to work with a wide range of Japanese style flower making tools achieving some proficiency in the Japanese technique.
