Mokuhanga, the Baren and Printing at Home
Sep 11 - 22, 2023
9AM-5PM
Concept
This exciting printmaking intensive focuses on mokuhanga, a water-based Japanese woodblock printmaking method. This unique process involves hand carving, is environmentally friendly, and is able to be done at home at any scale, at any time, and in any place. The class discipline is to create a dialog between storytelling and a relationship with color, form, and space as a narrative in a diptych or long format. The students compose and recompose prints to create complex images printed from beautiful shina wood onto traditional Japanese mulberry paper.

Hiroki Morinoue
Born in 1947, in Holualoa on the Island of Hawaii, Hiroki Morinoue received his BFA degree from the California College of Arts and Crafts (now CCA) in 1973. Traveling to Japan in 1976 through 1982, he studied sumi brush painting with Koh Ito Sensei and Japanese woodblock printmaking, Mokuhanga with Takashi Okubo Sensei. Hiroki and Setsuko Morinoue established Studio 7 Fine Arts Gallery in November 1979, as the first and now longest standing contemporary art gallery in Hawaii. A humble space in a small village with a charmed history, the gallery holds an open-ended mission: to create and promote Contemporary Art. For Hiroki the landscape of Hawaii, its light, rocks, skies, and water has deeply influenced his work alongside the aesthetic of Japanese arts, crafts and landscaped gardens, which is prevalent in his work. In all of Morinoue’s work there is a compelling sense of place, curiosity and dialogue between the art and its viewer. He is a patient observer of nature, the rhythms of the ocean shoreline, the fluidity of lava flows, patterns of light on water, using symbols as suggestive messages and patterns from nature. He transcends these observations in various mediums, including watercolor, oil, acrylic and mix media paintings, monotypes, sculptures, photography, ceramics and Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock prints). Hiroki Morinoue has shown widely in the United States and Japan. He has completed several major public art commissions, including projects at the Honolulu Public Library, and for the Hawaii Convention Center in 1996-97 where he executed a 90 foot mural titled Mauka, Makai. His work can also be viewed at Pahoa High School Library and First Hawaiian Bank. Morinoue’s work is represented in the collections of The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, The Honolulu Academy of Arts, The Hawaii State Foundation for Culture and the Arts, Neiman-Marcus in Honolulu & Chicago, Verizon Hawaii, Achenbach Foundation of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, The National Parks, Maryland, Ueno No Mori Museum, Tokyo, the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA. and many private commissions and collections.

Screen Printing Using Dry Pigments
Miguel Aragon
Tuition $1,150
Code R0101-23
This workshop explores the exciting and exploratory process of directly screen-printing dry color pigments such as pastels, charcoal, and graphite to develop imagery on paper and other substrates. This experimental approach embraces exploration and stretches the conventional applications of the medium by using image alteration to create a dynamic series of varied multiples of an image. Imagery can be hand-generated or photographic. The technique is introduced as a single process procedure, which can then be used to investigate new ways to discover print qualities to strengthen images and concepts.

Layering Color and Light: Woodcut and Monoprint
Jean Gumpper
Tuition $1,150
Code R0202-23
This rigorous, engaging printmaking workshop focuses on monoprint and woodcut methods with an emphasis on layering color to produce luminous results. We begin with observational studies from the natural world and explore trace, stencil, painterly, and multiple plate monotype methods. Woodcut techniques are then added to layer transparent and opaque color, creating a radiant sense of space. We make both editioned and unique prints, alternating between structure and improvisation. This back-and-forth serves as the format for the course as we combine printing using a woodcut matrix with a variety of monoprint methods.

Electro-Etching: Exploring Surface
Malgorzata Oakes
Tuition $1,150
Code R0303-23
In this experimental workshop, open to all levels, students learn and explore various electro-etching processes. Emphasis is on safer intaglio methods and the fundamentals of electrolysis, from traditional methods of electro-line and electro-tint to innovative approaches that result in rich textures and layered imagery. Processes introduce participants to the science behind electro-etching, a non-toxic work environment, and proper equipment setup and maintenance. Students are encouraged to experiment with various resists, including BIG ground, in addition to working with salt and unconventional mark-making. By the end of this workshop, participants will have printed small editions of their own unique work embedded with various new processes.
