Description
Art Print Residence is delighted to welcome Tadashi Kobayashi from Japan for a special exploration of contemporary approaches to Mokulito. A student of the inventor of the technique, he is considered one of the early artists to have introduced and presented Mokulito internationally, outside of Japan.
Workshop Overview
In this 5-day Mokulito workshop, participants will create two different types of Mokulito plates under the guidance of Japanese printmaker Tadashi Kobayashi.
Plate A: Mokulito using solid markers
Plate B: Mokulito using oil paint with a drying medium
Participants will also experience printing with Kobayashi’s original octagonal baren, a unique hand-printing tool developed through extensive experimentation to achieve the strong pressure required for Mokulito. Both hand printing and press printing will be explored.
By the end of the workshop, each participant will complete multiple prints and gain a deep understanding of the expressive possibilities of Mokulito.
