This autumn, I will be teaching 3 mokuhanga workshops in 3 different studios in Vermont. 

MOKUHANGA TECHNIQUE INSPIRED BY MUNAKATA

Location:  Two Rivers Printmaking Studio in White River Junction VT

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18

7–8 P.M. VIA ZOOM
SATURDAY & SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19 & 20

10 A.M.–4 P.M. IN PERSON

In this workshop, we will explore the techniques of mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock printing) through the lens of Shikō Munakata.  We will focus on strong, bold lines and simplified forms that respond to and fit the shape of the woodblock. Using free carving with gouges and chisels, we will create our images. After printing the image in sumi ink, we will paint through the back of the paper, allowing the color to penetrate to the front of the image.

In this workshop, we will focus on printing techniques, in particular, creating “bokashi” or gradations using water and pigment on the block. 

We will spend as much time as possible experimenting with printing, so you can get a feeling for varying the conditions of the block, to see what the results will be.
