GYOTAKU- Japanese fish printing workshop - 24 Aug
Sunday 24th August 2025.
9am-12:30pm.
Village Hall, Strathnairn Arts, Holt ACT
Join me for a fun filled morning exploring the traditional Japanese printmaking technique, Gyotaku which fishermen in Japan used to record and document their catch.
This technique uses sumi ink painted onto a fish and then rice paper to gently rub onto the painted fish to leave a printed image.
We will-
-use sumi ink to paint both real and artificial fish.
-create impressions of our fishy subjects on to rice paper.
-add coloured tints to our printed fish images.
All materials will be provided.
Please wear an apron.
NO seafood allergies- we will be handling real fish.
