Learn the basic techniques in the Japanese tradition of woodblock printmaking with water–based inks; this tradition is associated with the extraordinary lessons of design and color passed on from the earliest Ukiyo–e masters. All aspects of the process will be introduced: proper care and use of the carving tools, preparing and carving the wood blocks, and hand printing using the baren. Japanese papers, water–based pigments, and color registration are also covered in this class.
Limited to eight students.
Includes an additional 12 hours of studio time each week of the class.
