Explore the combination of printmaking and watercolor! Use sumi or Akua black ink to hand print leaves, flowers, or vegetables, then learn how to paint these prints with watercolor. By the end of the workshop, you will have several colorful prints in the takuga style on a variety of printmaking papers. The supply fee includes a shikishi board for framing your favorite print. Bring flat leaves of many shapes in a zip top bag, and the instructor will provide leaves, too. If you have your own watercolors, feel free to bring them along.TERMS and CONDITIONS: This is an adult only class. Because materials are prepared for each participant, cancellations with refund minus the cost of the materials ($25) will be applied if cancelled outside of 7 days of the course. Cancellations not accepted within a week of the course date.
