Artists! Take your designs to the next level.

Introducing The 2024 Art Seminars hosted by World Shibori Network Foundation. The first 2 Art Seminars will feature Kaei Hayakawa, the last practicing Arashi Shibori artist in Arimatsu, Japan. Hayakawa-san has been mentoring groups of Shibori artists in five regions of Japan for nearly 40 years. All told, he has mentored 400 or so artists collectively called, The Shibori Community.

NOW, Hayakawa-san is pleased to offer mentorship and critique for international artists. Learn from a master. Learn from each other. Be inspired!

Observers (unlimited): Open to the public for anyone interested in artistic and design processes. Observers may join a seminar for plenty of inspiration and good information, but are asked to be silent. Participation and recordings are not available for the observer.
