Japanese Woodblock Printing


Japanese woodblock is a technique rich in tradition dating back to the 17th century. Ukiyo-e means “pictures of a floating world” because these prints depicted daily life. We will carve wood blocks and ink them with watercolors and nori paste to create painterly prints and to experiment with Japanese papers. This non-toxic print medium is colorful and subtle, allowing for transparent washes of color as well as detailed textures and wood grain.

Please bring sketchbooks, photos and other inspiration to the first class.
Appropriate for all levels.

This class is limited to 8 attendees. Free parking is provided.

Workshop Fee: $355 plus $35 materials fee

November 14-15, 2019, 10am - 4pm
