DESCRIPTION:Master printer Paul Mullowney will lead a hands-on workshop on 
 creating  woodblock prints\, including an introduction to the history of i
 ts  connection to <em>ukiyo-e</em> prints\, Japanese tattoo imagery\, and 
 the 20th century <em>sosaku hanga</em> (creative prints) of leading figure
 s like Shikoh Munakata.  \n \n In the spirit of the exhibition\, <em>Perse
 verance</em> \, the workshop will  focus on the crossover shared between t

 oism\, and Japanese folk stories was shared by  artists working in both wo
 rlds&mdash\;tattooing and fine art prints. In this  workshop\, a brief his
 torical overview of the methods\, trends and  iconography in the long trad
 itions of the woodcut medium will be  discussed \n \n Participants will th
 en have a chance to try their hand at carving and  printing blocks using t
 he techniques of Japanese water based printing.  Pre-carved blocks will be
  available for printing on fine handmade papers  and participants will be 
 able to achieve fine results to take with  them. \n \n $50 members\; $60 n
