First Friday: Gyotaku Fish Print Drop-in Workshop

Join a Gyotaku workshop at Poster House and experience an exciting traditional Japanese art form. Emerging in the mid-19th century, Gyotaku is the authentic Japanese method of fish printing. This technique involves applying ink to an actual fish and pressing it onto paper. Originally used by fishermen to record their catches, Gyotaku has since become a unique artistic practice.

The workshop will be led by Sato Yamamoto, a distinguished printmaker from Tokyo, now residing in Westchester County. She has taught numerous workshops at such distinguished venues as the Brooklyn Museum, the Worcester Art Museum, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, Center for Book Arts, Manhattan Graphics Center, and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.

Accessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request.
