In this one-day workshop, Carolyn Letvin will teach the process of making and enhancing prints made from real fish. Originating in Japan during the mid-1800s, the process was used by fishermen to record their catches for accuracy when selling the fish. It subsequently became a popular nature printmaking art form of its own.
Using both acrylic paint and water-based ink, students will create beautiful prints, then learn how to enhance the image to make them come alive on the paper. We will also make a chop stamp out of meat packing material that will add authenticity to your prints. All supplies, including the fish, will be provided.
Ages 18+. Saturday, May 6th, 10am-4pm with a lunch break. $175 (including $15 materials fee).
