Contemporary Mokuhanga: Experimental and Alternative Methods
Yoonmi Nam
Tuition $1,250
Code R0101-26
Expand the possibilities of contemporary mokuhanga through experimental approaches to Japanese-style water-based woodblock printing. This workshop introduces alternative methods such as no-cut woodblock printing, white-line woodcut, printing with natural pigments, and other inventive processes. Participants are encouraged to explore unconventional materials and experimental image-building processes that can complement traditional mokuhanga. Through demonstrations, discussions, and studio experimentation, students investigate how this non-toxic and press-free process continues to evolve as a dynamic form of creative expression, connecting tradition and innovation while offering endless possibilities for artists.
