Takashi Murakami), this hands-on workshop on July 18th teaches you how to create your own art prints.

Pints and Prints: Hiroshige and Murakami invites you to grab a brew and learn about Japanese gyotaku techniques from artist Sato Yamamoto. Art materials will provided. This series is for all the DIY-ers and not-afraid-to-try-ers, so be sure to sign up today!
