Mizuhiki begins with paper. Thin strips are twisted into cord, coated, and coloured — then tied. In Japan, these knots have marked envelopes, gifts, and ceremonies for centuries. Each knot carries meaning: the awaji musubi, the plum blossom, the tightening bond.
In this 2-hour workshop, you will learn to work the cord with your hands. We begin with the foundation knot, then move to the round plum blossom form that sits at the centre of most mizuhiki work. You will make two pieces to take home: a pair of earrings and a mizuhiki bookmark in colours of your choosing.
No experience is needed. The cord is forgiving. What matters is patience with your fingers and a little time.
The workshop runs in our studio space at Yugen, a Japanese-inspired café in Hyde Park, Goodwood. Our full menu of specialty coffee, Japanese tea, and matcha, as well as pastries and desserts, are available to purchase before and after class.

In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

My name is Ayana.

I’m originally from Japan and worked as a flight attendant before moving to Australia. Since making Adelaide my home, I’ve become passionate about sharing the beauty of Japanese culture with others.
Through mizuhiki, the traditional Japanese art of decorative knot-tying, I love showing how simple cords can be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful. I hope my classes give you a chance to relax, be creative, and enjoy a little piece of Japan.

Eda Tevrizci is a professional Ebru artist living in Australia since 2016. She started to work on traditional Ebru art early in 2015 which stole her heart immediately and has been practising it since then.
This art form has been added to UNESCO's world cultural heritage list in 2014; she uses water surface as a canvas and then transfers the created patterns onto paper, fabric or other materials.
Using natural pigments, traditional materials and water surface as a canvas, she tries to find a balance and connection between the traditional and modern designs through her works but she is more after in creating contemporary, abstract forms rooted in the traditional art form.
After living and running workshops in Melbourne for five years, she now conducts ebru workshops and short-term courses in Adelaide for art lovers who are open to a unique experience — paint on water surface.
Apart from workshops, she also creates tangible ebru designed jewellery and fashion accessories, stationery and home decoration products all of which reflect her vision of life.
For Eda, Ebru is a lifelong learning journey and she is keen to share her expertise with people while trying to achieve more each and every day. She loves the freedom and endless possibilities that Ebru offers and always looks for new and creative ways to adapt it to the new forms of today’s world.
