Tasty Treats, Tiny Treasures and Other Things That Tickle My Fancy
Ima Ventriloquist....
is a transplanted Winnipegger with a healthy affection for tea, paper, Japan, letterpress, sweets, postal paraphernalia, cheese, Norway, snail mail, photography, lovely penmanship, ephemera, her little family and uncovering the beautiful treasures and people that lurk on the streets of Toronto (and beyond).
I like taking pictures
Please note: The following blog/website categories may be somewhat confusing as those listed under "Fashionistas" are also considered very inspiring. Similarly, those listed under "Inspiration" are also very much Fashionistas. And let's not forget "Paris" - forever inspiring and fashionable.Just wanted to clarify that.
Recently, I've started an apprenticeship at Kozo Studio with the very talented, Akemi Nishidera. Akemi is an artist who graduated from Printmaking at OCAD and apprenticed with artist Richard Flavin in Japan for three years. She also teaches in the community and is in the process of creating a beautiful coloring book to raise money for the Printmaking Department at OCAD and for the Artists' Health Centre Foundation. She has a lovely studio on Broadview where various workshops on letterpress, printmaking, Japanese paper marbling (to name a few!) are offered. The space will also function as a gallery, retail space and a place where artists can meet. I feel very fortunate to be able to learn from such an amazing artist!
Here are some pictures I took during my last visit.
