Discover the Art of Gyotaku
Sea & Scales is a haven for art lovers, where the traditional Japanese technique of Gyotaku, or fish printing, is brought to life. Sea & Scales is a collaboration of Bridget Sawitsky's fine art training and Nancy Sonett's love of designing and sewing. As a skilled Gyotaku artist, Bridget Sawitsky captures the exact likeness of the fish with ink on rice paper to create a unique art piece. From her original works, she then reproduces limited edition giclees and has her images printed on fabric. Nancy then uses select gyotaku images to create a line of hand made home accessories and totes. Explore the gallery's unique collection, which also includes Gyotaku-inspired products like tea towels and notecards, all showcasing the beauty and precision of this captivating art form.
