Introduction
Originating in China, then refined in the Edo Period in Japan, mokuhanga (Japanese water-based woodblock printing) is experiencing a contemporary revival as a nature-based art form.
Trained in Japan, Patty Hudak will guide participants in the immersive techniques of carving and printing using handmade brushes, Japanese paper, rice glue, gouache, and a handheld baren to carve and print mokuhanga prints. We will cover the history of color in Japanese prints, and the potential of mokuhanga as a medium for
contemporary printmakers. Participants will create a two color print.
