Mokuhanga: Principles of Japanese Design with Patty Hudak, Nov. 1 & 2, 10am - 4 pm,
This two-day workshop introduces Japanese woodblock printing (mokuhanga) through the study of composition and design. Participants will begin with black-and-white paper cutouts to explore shape, proportion, and the principles of empty space and asymmetry. These designs will be developed into carved woodblocks, followed by printing with color layering, soft gradations (bokashi), and monoprinting.
Attention will be given to the subtle use of color to convey atmosphere and detail.
All levels of experience are welcome!
