Master chigiri-e artist Lily Nakao will hold a workshop for adults in the traditional Japanese art form of chigiri-e. In chigiri-e, the artist creates a "painting" by gluing pieces of fine, torn, colored paper onto a stiff board. All supplies will be provided. Participation is limited to 12, so call early to receive a registration form.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. It is held in conjunction with the Museum's Focus Gallery exhibit Following the Paper Trail from China to the World. The exhibit is co-sponsored by the UI Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies and a gift in memoriam of Dr. Yuen Tze Lo by his wife Sara de Mundo Lo.
