Japan has a long, rich history of woodblock printing, called mokuhanga, dating back to the 11th century. The ukiyo-e genre of block prints flourished in Japan from the 17th through 19th centuries. Morikami is offering a workshop with a modern twist on this ancient art form, where participants can carve and print with linoleum blocks to create unique and exciting imagery.
Instructor Brian Reedy has been teaching this method for over 20 years and offers an approach that is easily accessible for beginners, yet challenging for seasoned artists.
