Gyotaku Lake Fish Printing Workshop at The Mad Patcher
2026-07-05 10:00 - 12:00 | The Mad Patcher, 80 Square Street, Elkhart Lake, WI, 53020, United States
Head over to The Mad Patcher for a unique, hands-on art experience inspired by a centuries-old Japanese tradition. During the Elkhart Lake 4th of July Parade, guests are invited to participate in guided fish printing using locally caught Wisconsin lake fish on T-shirts, paper and patches.
All skill levels are welcome, and participants can choose from a wide variety of colors and gradients to create their own one-of-a-kind print.
Known as Gyotaku, or “fish rubbing,” this traditional printing technique originated in Japan during the Edo Period (1603–1867). Japanese fishermen developed the method as a way to document and preserve the size, species, and intricate details of their catches long before the invention of photography. The prints also served as records for fishing competitions while allowing the fish to still be used for food.
Today, Gyotaku remains a distinctive art form practiced by artists and fishing enthusiasts around the world. This interactive demonstration offers a rare opportunity to learn about the history of the craft while creating a memorable piece of art inspired by Wisconsin’s local waters.
