Karibari Board Making
West Dean College
10-14 October 2016

Course Leader:  Ranson Davey, National Gallery of Ireland

This course is designed to introduce the student to the
construction, fabrication and use of the karibari (Japanese drying
board) through the practical experience of making a board.  The
four-day programme also covers the use of traditional Japanese
materials, tools and techniques, and the properties of Japanese
papers.

Working in teams of two participants will make their own boards
comprising a wooden lattice core (100cm x 60cm) covered with 8
layers of handmade Japanese kozo (mulberry) paper, with the top
layer coated with a traditional waterproofing agent kaki-shibu.

Instruction in the preparation of gluten-free wheat-starch paste by
cooking, sieving, mashing and diluting, and the use of traditional
pasting, wetting and smoothing brushes will be essential components
of the course; as will the use of Japanese rulers, knives, spatulas
and awls.

The course fee includes the cost of the drying board and you will be
able to take it away with you at the end of the course.

charge for materials.  Fully inclusive residential course fee:  From
