Experienced and talented printmaker, Junko Kitamura, was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1980. In 2004 she completed her degree in printmaking with high standing at the Kyoto Seiko University. It is profoundly clear how Junko Kitamura’s Japanese origins influence both her aesthetic and her appeal for the printmaking process itself.

Junko has been invited internationally to participate in printmaking and textile workshops in both Austria and Canberra. Whilst still studying, Junko’s artwork was nominated for display at the Kyoto Museum Exhibition and was then selected for the MASUO IKEDA Exhibition for printmaking.

Junko has exhibited many times since coming to WA and Won several Awards including, The City of Melville Art Award “Works on Paper”, Deloitte Spring Rose Art show “People Choice Award” and Open Mind Open doors Art exhibition “Special Commendation”.

Now, Junko is enjoying sharing her passion and knowledge with others as well as further exploring and experimenting with the alluring art of printmaking.

I would highly recommend this workshop if you're looking for something fun and easy to do, with great results even if you're not particularly artistic. Junko is a really lovely, friendly person and very good teacher (although she prefers to think she shares her skills rather than teaches). We had the opportunity to try two different types of printing. Once her demonstration of the technique was finished there was plenty of time, resources and equipment to get on with making our own prints and experimenting with designs. Junko provided lots of encouragement and help when needed. The venue was excellent and Junko supplied a delicious assortment of snacks!
