About this Event

Join us for Gyotaku - Fish Ink Printing!

Date: SAT, OCT 4

Time: 2:00 PM

Location: Heritage Museum of Asian Art

Come and learn the traditional Japanese art of Gyotaku (魚拓 -ink rubbing of a fish; (making a) fish print; (taking a) fish impression), where you can create beautiful prints using real fish and ink. This hands-on workshop will teach you the techniques and history behind this unique art form. No experience necessary, just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!

Don't miss out on this fun and educational event!

Instructor: Robert Chenoweth has been teaching the Gyotaku art form for over 8 years and his works have been exhibited in galleries throughout the Midwest. Renowned for his unique Gyotaku collection, Robert is an innovator of the art form, having developed an inkless method that allows for vibrant and detailed prints without the mess and cleanup of traditional inks.

A member of the Nature Printing Society, Japanese Arts Society of America, and the East Asian Arts Group, Robert travels the country promoting and educating on the Gyotaku art form.

"Gyotaku is more than just a printing technique; it's a way to connect with nature and capture the beauty of aquatic life."

The class maximum is 20 and the minimum is 6.
