Once you have made a Gyotaku work of art on paper

Once you have made a Gyotaku work of art on paper there is a process called Urauchi that allows you to paste layers together so that the image is flatter, stronger or attached to another material. Here I am pasting the many squid prints into fabric making a large hanging for exhibiting.
I’ll be unveiling some works soon that are being “mounted” directly onto walls.

Bring a shirt or fabric too. Join me at the Vancouver Japanese Language School to try the traditional art of making prints from real fish, octopus, squid and prawns. Dm for more info or go to my website.
See you there. @vjls.jh

I’m so sad I didn’t take more pictures!!! It seems I’m always so in the moment that the camera doesn’t come out. Here’s a few stunning images - YES! First time Gyotaku artists at the wonderful workshop today @troutlakecc . Thank you @troutlakecc for hosting the workshop. Amazing and beautiful creations by everyone today!! They worked with sumi-ink, mastered “ghost”images (made without repainting the subject), combined elements, used the tuna tail (thanks to @seafoodcity_granville_island ) …..
It was another beautiful day of printing with nature!
