CONTEMPORARY OSHI-E (pronounced oh-she-aye)
OSHI-E is based upon an ancient fabric art from Japan. Besides being hung on a wall, oshi-e can be used in scrapbooking, card- making, jewelry, ornaments, and so much more! No art or sewing skills are required. Students will go home with one completed piece. Our Instructor, WENDY CHRISTINE DUKE, has been making oshi-e for over four decades, having learned the technique while living in northern Japan. Her work has been commissioned for residential and corporate settings and has won awards regionally, nationally, and internationally. These classes are part of her research on a book she is writing as an Introduction to Contemporary Oshi-e. View display of her work and details of the process at the School of the Arts.
