Moku Hanga: Japanese Waterbase Woodcut
This is an intensive weekend workshop that will teach the basics of this traditional waterbase technique. Japanese woodblock differs from western woodblock in that it is waterbase and non-toxic, it is printed with a hand-held baren, and it is printed on handmade Japanese kozo fiber paper. This class will cover carving, printing and registration. We will plan and cut blocks, then print an edition of multi-colored prints on Japanese paper. Printmaking experience is helpful but not required.

The $50 fee includes basic cutting tools, blocks and Japanese paper.

Understanding Shakespeare
This class will prepare you to fully enjoy the two 2008 Shakespeare Santa Cruz Festival plays, Romeo and Juliet and All’s Well That Ends Well. Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, takes us into the world of disenfranchised youth caught between their idealistic romanticism and their feuding families. Alternatively, All’s Well That Ends Well is a story of contrasts, illusion and reality, renunciation and reconciliation.

We will explore the theses, characters, and plots through video clips, guest speakers from the Shakespeare Santa Cruz productions, and lively class discussion. We will discover how their contemporary and traditional theses persist today. A complimentary ticket to attend any one of this season’s plays is included in the class fee. Please bring a copy of the plays to class (Signet paperback editions are preferred) and please read at least part of the plays before we discuss them.
