Kids Create!: Gyotaku (Japanese Fish Printing)for Ages 2-6 w/Adult (afternoon) taught by Ellen Ferrari
November 7, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
IN PERSON- FRIDAY, November 7th
Wet Paint offers a series of simple, open ended art classes designed for children 2-6 years old with adult taught by early childhood art specialist, Ellen Ferrari. Each class will focus on one art making process. Ellen will use examples of artwork by iconic artists to make connections to professional artists who use these processes and introduce basic concepts, materials and terms. All materials provided (real artists’ paper, ink, paints and tools!) for several projects in each class.
This Class: Gyotaku- Japanese Fish Printing
Get hooked on Gyotaku – Japanese fish printing. View the art of Joe Higgins, Doug Olander, and the children of Bristol Bay, Alaska and Japan. Then use newsprint, construction and tissue papers, water and brushes, and a wide variety of rubber fish – from small drum to large walleye – to print your own Gyotaku.
Must have one adult attending class with every child. Thanks!

If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up.
