About the Art Activity

State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) Artistic Teaching Partner (ATP) Fellow Liz Train will guide museum visitors through an oil paint resist and watercolor painting during the Hawai‘i State Art Museum‘s free, all-ages First Friday event on November 1. Participants will draw with oil pastels on paper and then paint watercolors over it for magical results. The oil pastels resist the watercolor painting and create areas of texture and pattern similar to batik on fabrics. Fun for all ages!

About the Artist

Liz Train grew up on the island of Kaua‘i. Her mother and father were both painters and had a family gallery, “The Spouting Horn Studio”, on the road to the Spouting Horn near Poipu. She fell in love with clay at age four and began to make batik fabrics as a teenager. Liz has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in ceramics and a Master in Fine Arts degree in fiber arts from the University of Hawai‘i. She currently teaches adult classes in fiber arts and weaving at the Honolulu Museum of Art School. As an advanced level Teaching Artist she works with the Hawai‘i State Art Museum on Art Bento outreach projects. She has also worked with the SFCA’s Artists in the Schools program and has taught art at many elementary schools in Hawai‘i. Liz also teaches children’s art classes after school at Noelani Elementary School. In addition to fiber art, Liz enjoys working with ceramics, fused glass, printmaking and mixed media. Her work has been included in many juried and group exhibits and is in the collection of the SFCA and the Honolulu Museum of Art as well as many private collections.

Natto Talk with Eien Hunter Ishikawa

Eien will talk about natto, the fascinating, delicious, and nutritious fermented soybeans from Japan. The demo will include samples of fresh natto and offer ideas for traditional and non-traditional preparations. In Japan, natto is highly regarded as a ‘superfood’ with many health benefits including cardiovascular health, brain function, bone and teeth strength, and improved digestive system. Because all natto imported into the United States is frozen, this is a very rare opportunity to taste fresh, organic natto, whether you consider yourself a fan or not yet.

This workshop is free. Due to limited space, you must reserve a seat with the HiSAM Museum Gallery Shop x MORI here: RSVP for Natto Talk. This presentation is a collaboration with HiSAM Museum Gallery Shop x MORI.

Japanese Knife-Sharpening Workshop with Eien Hunter Ishikawa

In this workshop, Eien will teach the basics of Japanese knife sharpening on water stones. Japanese knife culture is distinct in several ways – the blade is sharper and thinner, sharpening is done on stones, and all chefs sharpen their own knives to complement to their individual cutting style. With this introduction of a few techniques, everyone will be able to sharpen their own knives and feel the joy of cooking with a sharp blade.

This workshop is free. Due to limited space, you must reserve a seat with the HiSAM Museum Gallery Shop x MORI here: RSVP Japanese Knife-Sharpening Workshop. This presentation is a collaboration with HiSAM Museum Gallery Shop x MORI.
