Learn the basic techniques in the Japanese tradition of woodblock printmaking with water-based inks. This tradition is associated with the extraordinary lessons of design and color passed on from the earliest Ukiyo-e masters. All aspects of the process will be introduced: proper care and use of the carving tools, preparing and carving the wood blocks, and hand printing using the baren. Japanese papers, water-based pigments, and color registration are also covered in this class.

Takuji Hamanaka is a printmaker and painter. He has been trained as a traditional Japanese woodblock printer and worked for different studios in Japan and in the U.S.
