6:30 PM - 8:30 PM    Gyotaku Japanese Art & More - Gyotaku Japanese Art & More
Gyotaku (which translates to “fish rubbing”) is an ancient Japanese print technique that dates to the early 1800s when fishermen would document their catch. They would apply sumi ink to one side of a freshly caught fish, then cover the fish with rice paper and rub to create an exact image of the fish. The ink was non-toxic and allowed for the fish to be processed for eating, while preserving records of fish species and sizes.  Back when there were no cameras, this was the way to get an authentic and exact print.  Today, it’s become an art form that also includes shells, leaves, feathers, shellfish (even fruits and vegetables) as well as fish. All supplies are included for you to make several different pieces using a variety of subjects, customized to your own personal creative choices.  Please note that all photographs attached to this registration are original Gyotaku works created by the instructor.About the Instructor:Patti Fielding is a Gyotaku Artist, also perfecting the Urauchi technique (wet mounting) – two ancient Asian techniques that date back to the early 1800s. She concentrates on both sumi ink and acrylic paint on both fabric and Asian papers, depending on the subject.Recently, Patti has had her work shown locally at the Essex Art Center in Lawrence, The Brush Art Gallery Lowell, Chelmsford Center for the Arts, Parish Center for the Arts in Westford, MA, and at The Arts League of Lowell.  She now has a permanent space at Arts League of Lowell for 2025 and has several pieces at The Lazy Bubble restaurant in Pepperell, MA. Website
