Sumi-e is the ancient art of Japanese brush painting. Traditionally, paintings feature subjects from nature, such as flowers and birds.

You will learn to feel and capture the meaning of objects from nature with your interpretation then you will express the objects variously with brush pressure, rhythm, tones and confidence in your strokes. There is much more to creating an image during the process of Japanese ink painting; it is also meditative practice.

All materials including brushes included.

Come along to seniors table tennis at Boroondara Sports Complex. A fun game of table tennis, also known as ping pong, will help you re-discover your energy, agility, balance and flexibility. All abilities are welcomed.
