Workshop With Matt Brown

I just spent the last three days assisting woodblock printmaker Matt Brown in a moku hanga workshop at Snow Farm -- the very workshop I took four years ago that got me launched into my moku hanga delirium. It was great to see Matt again and to watch him teach from this side of the four years that have passed since he first taught me. It was a wonderful group of students, too. It's always marvelous to watch a group of people who have never done moku hanga before go through the steps and come away with amazingly accomplished prints, all very unique. Here are the photos I took of the weekend.

So sorry I missed this workshop! Matt Brown and you! Double the fun! I love all the prints. Of course, the dog is my favorite! I can't complain about my California sojourn, however. I had a great trip.
