2012 Center for Contemporary Printmaking Spring Class

June 17 to 20, 2012
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.
