June Meeting:

Saturday, June 13, 2026

10:00 am-noon   Meeting

Meeting Program:

Demo: Brian Dearden

Unlike the western method of printmaking that uses a brayer with a tacky ink and a printing press, the Japanese mokuhanga method uses a liquid ink applied with brushes and a hand tool called a baren to take the impression.  Brian will demonstrate a small two color Mokuhanga print with hopefully some members of the audience participating.
