Workshops & Classes

Give your prints and artworks a new lease on life through the traditional Japanese technique of Urauchi mounting. Perfect for artists and printmakers, this 2-day workshop focuses on flattening warped or wrinkled works and/or adding interest by mounting them on decorative Asian papers. On the first day, students will observe a detailed demonstration of the Urauchi process-wetting the artwork, applying rice paste, and carefully adhering the piece to a durable backing paper before stretching it on a board to dry. Participants will then mount a small work of their own. Don’t have artwork in need of flattening or enhanced margins? Pre-warped paper will be available for you to use. On day two, you’ll release your dried, now-flat work from the stretcher board and have a chance to mount additional pieces for practice. The session wraps up with group discussion, troubleshooting, and guidance on continuing the process at home. A rare chance to learn a meticulous craft that bridges fine
