Learn the basics of mokuhanga, the technique of Japanese woodblock printing. Mokuhanga uses water-based inks and no press—all printing is done by hand. This two-day workshop will focus on basic mokuhanga techniques (planning and transferring the design, carving the blocks, preparation of the paper and printing the image). Workshop price includes use of carving knives, bench hooks, Japanese paper, inks, nori, brushes etc. and a curated workbook (the only other expense would be the purchase of a baren (the tool used for printing—I´ll provide details to those interested).

If interested or if you have questions or for more workshop details, please contact Frank by e-mail at frank.trueba@yahoo.com or text 831-239-9613.
