Description
Learn the basic techniques of the Japanese tradition of woodblock printmaking with water-based inks. This tradition is associated with the extraordinary lessons of design and color passed on from the earliest Ukiyo-e masters. All aspects of the process are introduced: proper care and use of the carving tools, preparing and carving the wood blocks, and hand printing using the baren. Japanese papers, water-based pigments, and color registration are also covered in the class.
Open to all levels, though previous printmaking experience is an advantage. Class fee includes materials.
In addition to in class time, 30 hours of open studio time are included (3 hours per week) outside of class for non-members; additional hours may be purchased as needed. To arrange your out of class studio time please email mgc@powerhousearts.org. Join as a member for unlimited open studio time, and a 25% discount toward classes.
