Do You Gyotaku? Learn how on 2/22

Gyotaku (Japanese 魚拓, from gyo "fish" + taku "rubbing") is a traditional form of Japanese fish printing or rubbing, dating from the mid-19th century, a form of nature printing used by fishermen to record their catches. In order to make a gyotaku print, one places the subject (e.g.fish, crab, scallop shell) on a wooden bench and paints one side with sumi ink. Next a piece of paper or other material is laid over the ink-covered fish. Finally, one rubs the material until there is the image of the fish on it.

Modern gyotaku artists often substitute acrylic or other painting material for the traditional sumi-e.

On Wednesday, Feb 22nd at about 7:30 pm, SBAA Member Chris Taylor will add a twist to this ancient art form, using batiked fabric and dyes to create an unusual look.

4 Bell Street, Bellport
