This class will introduce mokuhanga printing techniques including kento registration, a method used to make sure different parts of a print line up correctly. Mokuhanga (Japanese water-based woodblock printing) originated in China, was refined in the Edo Period in Japan, and is now experiencing a contemporary revival as a nature-based art form. Trained in Japan, Patty Hudak will guide participants in the immersive techniques of carving and printing, using handmade brushes, Japanese paper, rice glue, gouache, and a handheld baren to carve and print mokuhanga prints. We will cover the history of color in Japanese prints, and the potential of mokuhanga as a medium for contemporary printmakers.
