Anyone who loves art, fish, fishing, or fish art will have a great time in this class! Gyotaku is a traditional form of Japanese fish printing or rubbing, originally used by Japanese fishermen in the early 1800’s to accurately record their catches. It has since been recognized as a form of fine art. Greg Aragon, the instructor for the Gyotaku class, began to master this form of art 30 years ago. Learn his techniques and secrets in this unique art method.
The class is taught on a Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
