9am - 12pm
3 sessions at Edgewood Farm

Ever sit in the museum and look at Japanese woodblock prints and wonder how did they do that? Well, this is your chance to find out! In this 3-day workshop you will learn to print using the water-based methods of old Edo Japan. And that means rice paste and brushes, and using a baren instead of a press. The first day will be centered on carving an image into a woodblock. (You are welcome to bring blocks you have already carved). Day two will be for printing this “key block” and making a second block for “kento” registration. Day 3 is dedicated to printing a 2 block 2 color print. Subject matter is completely up to you. Brushes and barens are provided, and rice paste, blocks and paper are available for purchase.
