About
Washi tape art is art created with washi tape as the medium. The versatile, never-ending color palette of washi tape allows you to create a collage-like artwork that can be two- or three-dimensional.
Washi tape art is for everyone. If you can use scissors and/or an X-Acto knife, you’re good to go.
If you enjoy texture, glimmer, or shine then this class is for you! Maybe you’d rather work with muted colors? We’ve got you covered! You’ll have more than 100 washi tapes to choose from.
In this “make-it -and-take-it” class, you’ll create a beautiful, unique washi tape bonsai. No watering or pruning necessary.
Using a variety of washi tape, your artwork will draw inspiration from your imagination and personal style. Create something truly special filled with the magic of washi tape, perfect for your enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift for someone special in your life!
