Mokuhanga, the Baren
& Printing at Home
Hiroki Morinoue
CONCEPT
This dynamic printmaking
workshop focuses on mokuhanga: water-
based Japanese woodblock printmaking.
This unique process involves hand carving,
is environmentally friendly, doable at home,
on any scale at any time and in any place.
The class discipline is to work in a narrative
concept, creating a dialog in both storytelling
and relationship with color, form and space
as a narrative in a diptych or long format.
Students compose printed compositions to
create complex images printed from beautiful
shina wood onto traditional Japanese
mulberry paper.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Traditional and
modern mokuhanga (water-based Japanese
woodblock printmaking) are explored as well as
its techniques and applications.
ACTIVITIES
Printing exercises followed
by specific carving techniques and refined
printing techniques take place. There are also
demonstrations and explorations of materials,
including the baren and how to improve upon
a store-bought student-grade version, and
various types of wood used for carving and
papers for printing.
FACULTY
Hiroki Morinoue received his
BFA from the California College of the Arts.
He began teaching mokuhanga at Anderson
Ranch Arts Center more than 20 years ago.
Hiroki has traveled to Japan for an intensive
artist-in-residence program sponsored by
the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory and
attended the 2nd International Mokuhanga
Conference and Satellite Program in Tokyo.

The Hybrid Print
Genevieve Lowe
CONCEPT
This two-week intensive delves
into a range of printmaking techniques in
order to explore the hybrid print. Students
incorporate etching, gum transfers, chine collé
and monoprinting. The results are multi layered
prints that allow for the best of each technique
to be celebrated. Students also work with both
hand-generated and photographic imagery,
and embrace technical exploration and
experimentation. Each method is presented
then students investigate ways to combine
the techniques. Students discover which print
qualities are emboldened when combined in
a single image and produce works that reflect
a synthesis of process, layering, composition
and ideas.
MEDIA
& TECHNIQUES Students
are introduced to basic intaglio/etching
techniques, gum transfer printing, chine collé
and monoprinting. They utilize a combination
of hand-drawn, graphic and photographic
imagery. Students also explore the chine-
collé process.
ACTIVITIES
The first week begins with
technical demonstrations and introductions to
contemporary visual examples of each process
being presented. As students progress, they
combine techniques. The second week focuses
on students’ individualized work and applying
new technical abilities in experimental ways.
FACULTY
Genevieve Lowe lives in Brooklyn,
NY. She received her MFA from RISD.
Genevieve’s work revolves around conceptions
of the American landscape, utilizing a variety of
materials to explore its different representations
and has been exhibited widely throughout the
United States.
