All experience levels are welcome in this lively and colorful printmaking weekend. The Japanese woodblock tradition (hanga) is printing using water, without a press. The course is organized to offer an introduction to the range of wonderful tools, techniques, and materials involved in the process. Everyone completes a multi-color print and engages with aspects of design, carving, and printing. There is an emphasis on sharing tricks that can enrich other printmaking and painting approaches.
