Events › Native Plant Transfer Workshop with Yoshi Nakagawa

Get in touch with the land & printmaking! Feel free to bring your NW native plant cuttings from home, or there'll be cuttings gathered and ready to print at the library. We'll roll on black oil-based ink on the plants with a brayer, and hand print on Japanese washi paper (fibers made from mulberry) with a spoon. Then watercoloring, signing, and writing the common and botanical names for plant identification. Be a naturalist & artist with no experience necessary!

Yoshi is a Tacoma based visual artist and gardener, specializing in printmaking for 25 years. Her artwork is influenced by patterns of the natural world and Japanese textiles, along with experiences living in Mexico, Japan and the PNW. She has exhibited and taught workshops in the US, Mexico, Canada, Japan, South Africa and Honduras.
