Gyotaku instructor Bruce Koike will
return to Newport’s Pacifi c Maritime
Heritage Center on Saturday, Jan. 25, to lead
another workshop in this ancient Japanese
fi sh-printing art form.
After an initial orientation and
demonstration, Koike will provide hands-on
introduction as participants create their own
monochrome prints of fi sh and other subject
matter. Koike will then be available one-on-
one to critique each student’s print with an
eye to refi ning technique. Th e goal of the
workshop is for everyone to produce a one-
of-a-kind work of art suitable for framing.
Provided at the hands-on workshop
are the necessary rice paper, acrylic paints,
brushes and, of course, the specimens to be
printed. Participants should bring an open
mind and enthusiasm to try something new.
Th e fi nal portion of the workshop will focus
on the crucial stage of painting eyes on the
fi sh.
Koike fi rst learned the gyotaku technique
more than 30 years ago and has printed
more than 400 diff erent plants and aquatic
life, principally fi sh. He has shown his
works at venues such as the Lake Oswego
Festival of the Arts, the Bellevue Art and
Craft Festival, Newport Seafood and Wine
Festival and the Blackfi sh Café in Lincoln
City. A mahi mahi fi sh print currently hangs
in the meeting room of the NOAA vessel,
Bell M. Shimada that is home ported in
Newport.
Th e workshop will run from 10 am to 1
pm at the Pacifi c Maritime Heritage Center,
333 SE Bay Blvd.
Registration is $90 per person and
includes all materials. To sign up, call
541-265-7509.
