In conjunction with the exhibition Felipe Baeza: Anima at Print Center New York, participants are invited to create prints inspired by Baeza’s layered imagery and material processes. Participants will explore texture, abstraction, and collage using watercolor monotype and chine collé techniques. Led by artist-educators Megan Duffy, Alejandra Arias Sevilla, and Cecilia Cano-Daly, this open-ended workshop emphasizes experimentation and creative discovery to engage with the visual language of Baeza’s work. Felipe Baeza: Anima is on view through May 23 at Print Center New York. 

This workshop is free with entry, but is limited to 25 participants and spots are first come, first served. No experience is necessary. Recommended for ages 12 and over. All materials provided.

Join artist Takuji Hamanaka for a hands-on look at traditional Japanese woodcut printing. This demonstration introduces the core elements of mokuhanga—printing with a baren, using kento marks for precise registration, and creating subtle bokashi color gradients. Visitors will see woodblocks, brushes, pigments, and examples of both historic ukiyo-e prints and contemporary artworks. Whether you're new to printmaking or an experienced maker, this is an approachable glimpse into a centuries-old craft that continues to inspire.
