On & Off the Press:
Japanese woodcut printmaking
Hiroki Morinoue
Multiple Technique Intaglio
Monoprinting
Amanda Knowles
Skill Level: II
Skill Level: Open to all
Concept: Practice the tradition of moku hanga
woodcut printing in which the linear details of
the image’s key plate are created first and color
plates are produced later. In those early days of
Japanese woodcut prints, it was simply easier
to register color to line, than line to color.
Media & Techniques: Techniques include creating linear detail with dry point techniques,
working on a printing press, hand printing color
plates in the traditional moku hanga style, then
adding subtle surface detail and contrast.
Concept: Create a print focusing on multiple
variations rather than a single finished edition.
We investigate monoprinting in a variety of
one-of-a-kind prints with minimal platework,
experimenting with multiple outcomes. Come
with ideas about how single images could
work well together, but without a firm idea of
how the final images will look. Bring drawings,
photos, images and plates you have collected
or made over the years to combine with beautiful prints.
Activities: We have daily demonstrations
on inking, plate wiping, carving and printing
techniques, and we invite one-on-one discussions on image making, personal style and
visual vocabulary.
Media & Techniques: Techniques include
multiple drop printing, relief rolling, stencils,
gum transfer, basic photo-etching and polyester litho plates. We also go over printing
and platemaking.
Faculty: Hiroki Morinoue introduced moku
hanga Japanese woodblock printmaking techniques to Anderson Ranch in 1993. He is an
innovative printmaker who applies and introduces newer techniques to challenge his old
and new students. He has also worked in collaboration with other Ranch artists with print
projects. His multimedia works are in collections at Hawaii State Art Museum, The Contemporary Museum of Hawaii, the Honolulu
Academy of Arts, City of Honolulu, the Ueno no
Mori Museum of Tokyo, the National Parks collection in Maryland and the De Young Museum
print collection in San Francisco.
Activities: We learn technique while working
toward finished prints. There are demonstrations on z-acryl, Pronto- Plates, Xerox transfers,
stenciling, à la poupée and chine-collé, held at
the beginning of each class. We end the week
with a short critique of our finished prints.

Prints Pronto!
Matt Christie
Skill Level: Open to all
Concept: Learn basic lithography using polyester “Pronto-Plates,” a less technical and
less toxic process than traditional stone or
plate lithography.
Media & Techniques: We cover image generation using a variety of tools such as pens, spray
paint, Xerox/laser prints and Sharpie markers.
Activities: We begin by demonstrating methods of image generation. Then we cover
proper plate processing and inking along with
paper preparation and handling. Demonstrations are given in the mornings while afternoons are reserved for work time and one-toone instruction.
Faculty: Matt Christie is the artistic director for printmaking at Anderson Ranch and
also directs Anderson Ranch Editions, a fine
art print publishing studio. He has 29 years
experience collaborating with artists on print
projects and has programmed our printmaking
workshops and residencies for many years.
