If you’ve ever wanted to learn art but felt intimidated by large group classes, then this is the perfect setting for you to begin your artistic journey in the comfort of your home. My six-week Learn Chigirie series includes one-on-one instruction, custom-made project sheets, assistance with choosing supplies, follow-up videos you can use to review what you’ve learned, and a private lounge where only my students have access to additional learning resources. 

What is Chigirie? It’s a centuries old Japanese paper art where you use exquisite handmade paper to create collages that have been said to resemble watercolors.

Chigiriе iѕ thе Japanese art of tearing paper to create a collage or literally, “painting with paper.” Imagine creating beautiful paintings without paint or a paintbrush. That’s one of the reasons I fell in love with Chigirie. I could count on the inherent beauty of the handmade papers to create art that resembles a watercolor or oil painting.

The technique is said to date as far back as the Heian period of Japanese history by calligraphers who often used it accompany their decorative handwriting.
