The gyotaku method of printmaking uses fish, sea creatures, or similar subjects as its ‘printing plates‘. It is rumored that samurai would settle fishing competitions using gyotaku prints. The original form of gyotaku, as a recording method for fishermen, is still utilized today, and can be seen hanging in tackle shops in Japan.

Join Christine Mitchell in experimenting with this simple but beautiful printmaking technique utilizing both whole fish and also silicone cast fish forms. There will be opportunity to embellish your prints, and print on fabric, so be sure to bring other supplies and materials to innovate with your prints!
