Gyotaku Master Class

Come learn the beautiful folk art of Japanese Fish Printing (Gyotaku) under the tutelage of local artist, Duncan Berry. This full-day class (6 hours) will be hosted by Pelican Brewing at Siletz Bay. Allow the exquisite Bay view to inspire your creative, original pieces of art printed directly from the marine species themselves.

When: Saturday, November 15th, 2025, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Where: Pelican Brewing at Siletz Bay / 2nd floor.

What: This is an opportunity to print a dozen or more beautiful, direct impressions of wild creatures form the land, sea and air of Oregon's coastline. Specimens may include Octopus of various sizes, Chinook Salmon, Rockfish, Ling Cod, Albacore, a variety of different Seaweeds, Dungeness and Rock Crabs, Starfish, Razor Clams, Sand Dollars, and more. No prior art experience is necessary. The class is suited for all levels of printers from beginners to experts. All workshop instruction, materials and lunch are included and, as a special bonus, while participants print, they will learn fascinating facts about the lives of the various species and about the Marine Reserve program in Oregon.

Who: The workshop instructor will be Duncan Berry, Master Gyotaku artist. Duncan offers only a handful of workshops per year, so this is one of few opportunities to learn from his extensive background of exploring and expanding this traditional printing technique.

Cost: $300 for 6 hours of instruction, all necessary materials and specimens, as well as a delicious lunch provided by Pelican Brewing.

Register early. Class is limited to only 15 participants.
