Suminagashi Sharing in a Czech Family
In February 2023, I had the opportunity to share Suminagashi art with a lovely Czech family, and it was an experience I would never forget. Despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate through our shared passion for art and create something truly beautiful together. It was amazing to see how we were able to connect through facial expressions and body language. We worked on our art in their kitchen, surrounded by the warmth and hospitality of this wonderful family.
I am so grateful to my dear friends Alice and Josef, who invited me to this gathering, Their hospitality and warmth made this experience even more special, and I will always cherish the memories we created together. :)
Feedback from the Jaroš' Family:
" It was a lovely experience doing Suminagashi art with my family members. We enjoyed the process a lot, as well as the beautiful result. It was fun and relaxing at the same time with a glass of wine!
Should Hailey consider organizing a Suminagashi workshop in Germany or the Czech Republic in the future, I would eagerly welcome the chance to participate again and introduce the workshop to my friends.
I firmly believe that Suminagashi can have a positive impact on society. Throughout the process, participants have the opportunity to experience tranquillity and slow down amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life by observing the movement of water and ink. Additionally, collaborative art creation fosters the formation of new friendships among participants with shared interests and perspectives." - Josef Jaroš & Věra Jarošová,
