Summer 2014 Participant
My favorite part of the Japan program was participating in the woodblock printmaking workshop. It was the experience of a life time. Working so close under Mt. Fuji was amazing. I got to experience how it feels to focus solely on creating art, and that is something I revere with all my heart!

Carissa Ann Kemnitz, Summer 2016 Participant
I learned more about myself and I found peace and tranquility while immersing myself in a new culture. I discovered what my tastebuds enjoyed or turned away from by trying everything presented to me. I learned to constantly take photos but to also seize the moment without the camera. I found Independence and strength I did not know existed.

Olivia Noel Hernandez, Summer 2016 Participant
Being able to learn ancient Japanese paper making traditions was an incredibly valuable experience. Whether or not you have a specific interest or application for learning Japanese papermaking, just having the opportunity to learn and process was incredibly special.
