Mokuhanga Workshop + Lecture with Visiting Artist Patty Hudak
Stowe, Vermont - The Current is pleased to welcome artist Patty Hudak to The Current from November 10-12, 2023. On Friday, November 10, Hudak will provide a free public lecture and demonstration from 6-8pm. Then, on Saturday, November 11 and Sunday, November 12, she will lead a 2-day Mokuhanga workshop from 10am-4pm. Originating in Korea and China, then refined in the Edo Period in Japan, Mokuhanga (Japanese water-based woodblock printing) is experiencing a contemporary revival as a nature-based art form. Trained in Japan, Patty Hudak will guide participants in the immersive techniques of carving and printing, using handmade brushes, Japanese paper, rice glue, gouache, and a handheld baren to carve and print two-color Mokuhanga prints. The workshop will cover the history of color in Japanese prints, and the potential of Mokuhanga as a medium for contemporary printmakers. While the Friday night lecture and demonstration is free and open to the public, workshop participation requires registering online at: https://www.thecurrentnow.org/product-page/introduction-to-mokuhanga
