Join us on November 2nd at 1:00pm for a workshop instructing guests on the art of Ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese printmaking techniques that dates back to the 17th century.
“From the earliest points in my artistic practice to the present, I have always had an affection and an interest in the beauty and precision in traditional Japanese printmaking techniques, and have at various times integrated the skills I learned from working with these techniques into my practices.
This introductory workshop introduces students to the processes of Japanese block printmaking focusing on inking and printing. In this one-time workshop, participants will not curve, but watch the demonstration of curving by the instructor, then learn and work on the coloring and printing techniques.” – Mami Takahashi
