Your Instructor:

Julia Chon, better known by her artist name Kimchi Juice, is a Washington D.C. based artist and muralist. Chon’s work explores the relationship between cultural tradition and its effects on generational identity.

With a prominent Korean aesthetic in each piece, Chon merges her ancestry and traditions with the contemporary to convey the nuances of the Korean diaspora. As Chon’s work transitions from canvas to large-scale murals, these intimate portraits take center stage in an urban environment.

Her murals can be found internationally, and her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; and Miami, Florida. Chon’s clients and collaborations include Apple, the Korean Cultural Center, and the Phillips Collection, among others.

Workshop Outline

This hands-on, introductory printmaking workshop invites participants to explore the process of relief printing through carving, inking, and hand-printing techniques.

Participants will primarily work with linoleum blocks, with opportunities to explore how different carving surfaces affect the final print. The workshop is designed to be approachable and engaging for all skill levels. No prior printmaking experience is required.

Throughout the workshop, Juila Chon will share insight into their practice, including approaches to relief printmaking, material exploration, and storytelling through printed imagery.

Participants will learn foundational techniques such as carving methods, ink application, and hand-printing while gaining a deeper understanding of the tactile and process-based nature of printmaking. By the end of the session, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of the printmaking process and will leave with their own handmade prints.

This is a hands-on workshop involving ink and carving tools. Participants should be prepared to get a bit messy and are encouraged to wear clothing they do not mind getting ink on.

This workshop is open to participants of all ages. Children are welcome with adult supervision.
