About: Artist Kim Boustead will lead a hands-on workshop exploring the history and techniques of Gyotaku, the traditional Japanese art of fish printing. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own fish prints to take home or share with friends or family. NMCWD staff will also talk with participants about our fisheries management work, including efforts to protect local lakes by managing invasive species like goldfish and common carp.
*Please note that this workshop will use real, invasive goldfish that have been responsibly removed from local lakes as part of our ongoing lake restoration efforts.
