Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Norwalk, CT
This class introduces contemporary artists to traditional Japanese woodblock printing, the technique used by the Ukiyo-e artists of the 18th century. With precise registration, great color, it provides a connection to one of the most important chapters in the history of printmaking. Participants will cut and print a small edition of prints to learn about this nontoxic technique. Each class will begin with a discussion of a different aspect of Japanese woodblock, including tools, sharpening, printing techniques and paper.
