I Love Momigami, a Presentation by Nicole White

Join Nicole for an exciting introduction to Momigami (moh-mee-GAH-mee), an ancient Japanese technique that literally transforms paper into fabric through the magic of konnyaku starch and some stress-relieving crumpling and kneading. Nicole will take us on a visual journey through some of Momigami’s history, showing stunning examples of momigami in fashion and book arts, then dive into a live demonstration of the transformation process. “This is truly a transformational and incredible technique,” she says.

Nicole White is a book maker/lover, author, artist, certified hypnotherapist, online workshop teacher, and former president of Libros New Mexico Book Arts Guild. Art has always been her lifeline, but it was only when she learned to use it positively that she transformed her life from depression and anxiety to one of joy and fulfillment. Nicole’s mission is to empower her participants in this vibrant chapter of their lives, helping them to quickly unlock their creative abilities and transform their lives for the better. Her research-based approach helps people break free from self-imposed limits, offering simple and fun creative practices to manage stress, release depression and anxiety, find purpose, and embrace a more fulfilling and creative life. In short: helping people do more of what they love and less of what they dread. Visit her at https://www.ravenartcenter.com/
