Program accomplishments

  • We are a non-profit 501(c)(3), creating articles, demonstrations, classes, and exhibitions relating to all forms of nature printing, and we promote friendship, cooperation, and the free exchange of ideas between artists. We share our printmaking techniques online, with publications and with annual in-person conferences.Our original guidelines for prints were based on those of Gyotaku-Kai (Friends of the Fish Print), a Japanese organization of artists and ichthyologists under the leadership of Yoshio Hiyama, an ichthyologist from the University of Tokyo. In 1956, the American Museum of Natural History (with the assistance of Janet Canning) brought the first show of gyotaku to the U.S., exhibiting work from Gyotaku-kai.We publish a quarterly online newsletter that includes the newest printing techniques from our members.We offer an online video library, as well as live quarterly meetings where we show our work.We invite you to join us at one of our yearly workshops, where we learn from one another and practice the latest techniques in nature printing.
