Japanese Gyotaku Workshop at Nature in Art
Tuesday 16 July 2024
The Japanese Art Of Gyotaku with Jane Evans
Nature in Art at Wallsworth Hall is the world's first museum and art gallery dedicated to art inspired by nature. They run creative art workshops throughout the year.
n this one day course, learn how the art of Gyotaku came about, how it became an established art form and also about some of the ways it is practiced across the world today. Working in pairs to prepare an actual fish for printing from in the morning session then we will experiment with printing on various papers and fabrics.
After lunch, there will be an opportunity to continue printing and Jane will demonstrate Urauchi and encourage the group to try their hand at doing this process too. Urauchi is the technique used to make the print flat so it can be hung in a frame.
Materials will be provided for an additional cost (see link below).
