27 - Hours of Instruction and HP Studio Time

Mokuhanga printing workshop for beginners will span over 7 days and involves expert guided instruction. Faith Stone and studio assistants will get us started with a 3 evening block preparation and kento carving classes. Next UP! a 3 day Printing intensive with Hiroki Morinoue focused on Mokuhanga printing. The course structure will allow time for image ideation as well as in-depth instruction in the printing technique without participants needing to take an entire week off of work to carve the woodblocks.

This exciting printmaking intensive focuses on mokuhanga, a water-based Japanese woodblock printmaking method. This unique process involves hand carving and is environmentally friendly. The class discipline is to create a dialog between storytelling and a relationship with color, form, and space as a narrative in a diptych or long format. The students compose and recompose prints to create complex images printed from beautiful shina wood onto traditional Japanese mulberry paper.
