Mokuhanga (Thoman Tuesday Evenings)
This traditional, Japanese wood block printing technique involves carving an image into wood (soft Shina Plywood), then using water based colors applied with brushes, and pressing a thin, strong paper to the surface to transfer the image. We will begin with a simple black and white image, learning how to transfer, create registration marks, ink, and print onto Japanese paper. Then we will create a 3-4 color image and perfect your technique. This Non-Toxic printing process in centuries old, and you can easily continue printing without a press.
Some Relief printing experience is suggested. All tools and supplies will be provided.
There is a $50 Supply Fee, payable to the studio, DAFPS. Cash, check, Credit Card, or Apple Pay are accepted.
This Workshop is held OFFSITE, in the Artist’s Studio
