ABOUT

Discover mokuhanga, the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique behind the iconic Ukiyo-e prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige. In this hands-on introductory workshop led by artist Natasha Norman, you'll learn the distinctive materials and methods of this centuries-old craft — water-based pigments, hand-carved blocks, washi paper, and the baren printing tool. Working from pre-carved woodblocks, you'll print and layer colours by hand to create two original prints to take home. No experience necessary — just bring your curiosity!
