Getting the "Hang" of Mokuhanga
3-Day Workshop with Guest Artist, John Amoss
March 26-28, 2026 | 10:00am – 4:00pm
$35 materials fee with lunch provided.

We are delighted to welcome John Amoss to Print House for a three-day workshop introducing the art of mokuhanga, traditional Japanese woodblock printing. Known for his deep knowledge of mokuhanga and decades of teaching experience, John brings a thoughtful and accessible approach to this centuries-old process.

Over three days, participants will learn the fundamentals of hand printing with brushes, barens, and water-based pigments, along with other skills rooted in traditional Japanese practice. To make the most of our time, we’ll combine personal carving with pre-cut blocks and historical imagery to produce a small edition of prints.

Expect to:

  • Learn the basics of mokuhanga tools, materials, and printing techniques

  • Explore traditional methods of registration, pigment application, and layering

  • Experiment with both carved and pre-carved blocks to develop unique prints

  • Gain hands-on experience under John’s guidance in a collaborative studio setting

  • Leave with a small edition and the skills to continue mokuhanga independently
