The Art of Gyotaku with Dwight Hwang
November 1–6, 2026
Join internationally acclaimed artist Dwight Hwang for a five-night retreat exploring Gyotaku, the centuries-old Japanese art of nature printing. Set across 2,200 private acres of dramatic coastline, old-growth redwoods, rolling meadows, and nine distinct microclimates, this immersive experience invites guests to observe the natural world and transform it into lasting works of art. Under Dwight's guidance, participants will learn both traditional Gyotaku and European nature printing techniques, creating layered compositions inspired by Newport Ranch's extraordinary landscapes. Whether an experienced artist or curious beginner, guests will enjoy a rare opportunity to learn from one of the world's foremost practitioners in one of California's most inspiring coastal settings.
