Hosted by Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection
Details Learn about the history of Japanese woodblock prints, ukiyo‑e, and make your own artwork at the Kellogg Environmental Center on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 1:00PM. After the workshop, visit the Osborne Homestead Museum and view its collection of Japanese woodblock prints and Asian-inspired art.
