CLASS: Octopus Gyotaku
NPS Member Jill Marks will be teaching an Octopus Gyotaku class at the Newport Visual Arts Center!
Learn about the Japanese style of print making called Gyotaku and make cards using a real octopus specimen. This is a fun beginner print making class suitable for new and experienced students alike. If you have not tried Gyotaku yet you won’t want to miss it! In this class you will learn step by step how to apply ink to the octopus specimen and then transfer an image of it to your cards. This is a great class for people who have an interest in art but have always thought they couldn’t draw. No drawing or painting experience required! Come and have fun playing with colors and print making in this fun and addictive art form.
All class materials will be provided. Students should wear clothes that they may get ink on. If you can bring scrap papers to class for inking sheets that would be helpful! Deadline to register is October 16
Cost is $100
