Good Morning everyone,

Third Friday has crept up on us very quickly.

We will be having an artists meeting Tuesday, Oct 16 at 6pm for the Friday show. We will also be drawing for walls. This is going to be a great event, as The Factory is now on the Arts Crawl venue and also in the Gallery Opening section of yesterday’s Sunday paper. Look forward to seeing you here.

Classes: Gyotaku – the Art of Japanese Fish Printing

Gyotaku, the Art of Japanese Fish Printing
Current Class Dates:

Classes forming based on student needs. Classes are kept to a maximum 4 students, to keep things personalized. Cost: $40.00 (each class is at least 4 hours)

 

Learn a traditional 19th century Japanese printmaking technique in this inspiring, hands-on course. Gyotaku (literally 魚拓, from gyo “fish” + taku “rubbing”) is a form of nature printing which developed in Japan during the mid-1800s. Fisherman originally used the technique to record the size of their catch. Actual fish were covered with pigment and rice paper was rubbed over them, creating an imprint on the thin paper which was both practical and intrinsically beautiful.

It didn’t take long for the beauty of fish printing to be recognized and Japanese artists began working with it as a unique printmaking technique.

This fascinating 19th century technique is enjoyable to learn and will add new depth to your artistic palette. It’s also fun for those at any level of artistic experience, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

This hands-on course will cover direct and indirect fish printing on paper, cloth, t-shirts, and other materials.

Some materials will be provided and students will also be given a supplies list for additional items they need to bring (as well as optional items). All fish and nature models will be provided by the instructor. For the sake of cleanliness, rubber fish models will be used in class.

Location:
At the Factory on 5th Artspace
1715 5th St. NW
Albuquerque, NM 87104
