Through layered marks, textures and transparent inks, you will create a series of unique pages — working with repeating patterns, an evolving visual story, or a mix of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pages will then be bound into an 8–10 page Japanese-style artist book using the refined Yotsume Toji (Japanese 4-hole stab binding) technique. Prints can appear both on the surface of the pages and hidden within the folds, creating a playful “hide and seek” storytelling experience as the book is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finished book becomes a small, intimate object — a portable space for hidden stories, quiet patterns, and the subtle interplay of revealing and concealing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no need to create identical prints. Instead, each page becomes part of an evolving visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInside the Book: Hide \u0026amp; Seek Prints\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the Japanese-bound book, the mono-screenprinted pages form a quiet visual journey of “Hide \u0026amp; Seek.” Working with a soft wood-toned palette (muted browns, warm greys, translucent greens and ochres), participants create layered, atmospheric prints that feel both hidden and revealed. Marks appear and disappear through transparent layers — brushstrokes, wiped textures, ghost impressions and subtle masks — suggesting forms that emerge and recede, like something half-seen in nature or memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants can choose how they wish to narrate their book: through repeating patterns, an evolving visual story, or a combination of the two. Some pages might lean toward storytelling — a sequence of shifting atmospheres, soft landscapes, or quiet narratives that unfold page by page. Others might explore pattern — repeating rhythms, organic textures and interlocking marks that create a meditative, almost camouflaged surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBound together with the refined Yotsume Toji (Japanese 4-hole stab binding), these 8–10 unique pages become a personal artist notebook. The visible decorative stitching on the spine contrasts gently with the soft, painterly prints inside, creating a dialogue between structure and spontaneity, between what is held and what is concealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is This Workshop For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop is suitable for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginners interested in exploring screenprinting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists looking to experiment with mono-screenprinting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrintmakers interested in combining printmaking and book arts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone curious about Japanese bookbinding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists who enjoy working with texture, pattern and layered imagery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo previous printmaking or bookbinding experience is required.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You’ll Take Home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Your own original 8–10 page mono-screenprinted artist book\u003cbr\u003e✔ Experience with mono-screenprinting techniques\u003cbr\u003e✔ An introduction to Japanese 4-hole stab binding\u003cbr\u003e✔ A finished handmade book created entirely by you\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCome explore the space between what is seen and what is hidden — one layer, one page, and one stitch at a time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MPC Printmaking Co","offers":[{"title":"Oct 17 11am-6pm","offer_id":50528176341145,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.marbleprintclay.art\/products\/mono-screenprinting-japanese-stab-bookbinding-workshop","provider":"MPC Printmaking Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
