The fish was coated with a thin layer of carbon ink. Rice paper was then laid on top and carefully pressed onto the fish’s body ending with the print.
The Gyotoko workshop will be given using colorful acrylic paints and rubber fish replicas. Students may bring a t-shirt or a piece of paper will be provided.
