Designing In Hiroshima

Dear Friends,
All is well here in Hiroshima. The design class has begun. And the students are off and running. This is their 11th year of studying design. To get this far, they have made the commitments to attend, study and paint their homework. Their commitment shows as the class moves very quickly. During the seminar, the students will bring their homework to be reviewed and discussed. It is a great method to show how different elements and colors are assembled for the style studied.


This year the Hiroshima students will study Rogaland, Romsdal and Telemark. After one day of discussing traditional elements and colors of Rogaland, they are already trying their hand at creating their own designs.


Tom has been David's translator for about 12 years. They have developed a great friendship. Tom likes the seminars. His favorite subject is color theory. He remembers the material from each year and often participates in the color theory discussions.

Our seminars each day are held at Hiroshima Raggedy Art Studio.



We are greeted each day by Kintaro.


Materials are prepared by Miko.


And yes, we have ice cream at 3:00.


I think everyone is here.


Sincerely,
David and Martha
