A new year means cleaning out the “oni”, Japanese for demons, in our lives and bringing in good luck for the future. Join the Kawasaki Reading Room as we host a Setsubun Craft ‘n’ Sip session with a variety of tea samples and craft your can create your own oni mask led by guest teacher Lynette Fast. Later, hear a mini presentation about the rituals and lore surrounding this holiday and participate in a community “bean throw.” Don’t miss this chance to relax and have fun at this unique cultural celebration honoring the changing of the seasons.

Lynette Fast works as a professional artist and teaches privately following retirement from an Art Department Chair and as a teacher in many classes such as Pottery, 2D/3D Design, Graphic Art, Jewelry, Sculpture, Drawing, Painting, and AP Studio Art to elementary and middle school classes throughout the Lincoln Public Schools District. As a teacher of preschoolers to adults for over 30 years, the opportunity has provided Lynette a breadth of insight of teaching visual arts and working as a professional artist.

This event is made possible through funding provided by the Department of: Classics & Religious Studies, History, Japanese Art and Culture, Modern Language and Literature, and Political Science.
