MOKUHANGA: Japanese Woodblock
Tomoko Murakami
Class #91:
Saturdays, September 22, 29, October 6, 10am-4pm
Total Cost $299
This workshop introduces a traditional Japanese woodblock printing process, Ukiyo-E technique. Participants will learn to carve the woodblock, using Japanese carving tools, and print with water-based ink on Japanese paper. Participants will cut their own woodblocks and create a small edition of multicolor prints. For artists with home studios without a press, this beautiful, low-tech process may be the perfect solution. All levels are welcome.
