Gyotaku  Japanese Fish Printing          in-person

Gyotaku is the traditional Japanese method of printing fish, a practice that dates to the mid-1800’s. This form of nature printing was used by fishermen to record their catches but has become a popular art form of its own.

In this class, we will use latex molds as our printing plates – not real fish!

There will be a variety of different fish molds to choose from, as well as other sea creatures such as starfish, seahorse, and seaweed. Students will learn about composition, color, and how to create a monoprint

using paint, Sumi ink and washi paper.

October 5, 2024    10:00am - 12:30pm                  Springville Arts Center, Springville, New York
