Gyotaku In Grafton
Come to the Grafton Elementary School on Tuesday, August 7, at 10 am to discover Gyotaku – the Japanese Art of Fish Printing.
The Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center combines art and science in this free program sponsored by the Grafton Community Library. Learn about fish and their adaptations to living in a watery environment. Then create your own Gyotaku, the 19th century Japanese art form used by fishermen to record their catches. Although traditional Gyotaku used real fish, our artists will use rubber fish molds.
This free program is made possible in part through a Community Art$ Grant, a program funded by The Arts Center of the Capital Region through the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency. Connect with the Grafton Community Library via Facebook, by phone at 279-0580 or visit www.graftoncommunitylibrary.org.
