People of all ages are invited to drop-in and participate in creating a large-scale collaborative artwork using Japanese washi tape – a colorful, expressive medium that is accessible, low-barrier, and joyful to work with.
Artist Melody Maleitzke has designed this workshop to be inclusive, beginner-friendly, and welcoming to all ages and skill levels. She will introduce you to washi tape as a fine art material and guide you in creating individual and collective components of the final piece.
Washi Wonder: A Community Tapestry is a community-engaged art project funded by an Arts & Humanities Bainbridge Artist Grant. The final piece will be publicly exhibited during the Bainbridge Art Walk on June 5, 2026.
