Subject: [Baren 4357] Vancouver Latrec show 

For those taking Graham's workshop and others in the Pacific Northwest area:

I noticed that there is a Toulouse-Latrec exhibit at the Vancouver Art
Gallery until the 20th of June. See:
http://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca> for details.

I missed the exhibit when it was in Atlanta. Now I have a second chance to
see it on the other side of the continent. Quite frankly, I'd rather see it
anywhere but the Atlanta High Museum anyway!

How wonderful, Graham! I'm sure the Maestro was as thrilled to receive
your print, as you were in presenting it! Thanks for letting us share in
the pleasure.

Thanks for the tip on sharpening knives. I never thought of asking my Beauty
Parlor people how they keep their scissors sharp. I will bring in a knife
and study her sharpening skills. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Dave
There is sooo much information on your pages that it is sometimes hard to
remember that I have been there but forgot where I was. (That is a
convoluted sentence, it ever I heard one). I will look it up again. Thanks

Graham
What a tribute, Have you come off of Cloud Nine yet?

Cheers

Note! Most often scissors are sharpened by grinding. This is not something you
want done to good chisels and knifes. Please don't hand your good tools over to
someone else to sharpen unless you are quite sure they know what they are
doing.

Subject: [Baren 4361] Print Exchange 1 

This is from Ray H. in Vermont.
I've returned from teaching a week's class on woodblock printing at
Horizon's (an elderhostel class) that was very successful.   5
enthusiastic students.   Baren's print exchange #1 was very much
appreciated.   Although I showed the prints at the start of the class, it
wasn't until students had actually carved & printed blocks and then
returned to examine the prints at the end of the week that they began to
appreciate the wide variety of techniques and expressions contained in
this collection.  Again, many thanks to all who participated.  Can't wait
to see exchange number 2.

Karla H:  one of the students noticed the face under the splendid red &
blue "feathers" in Mardi Revis (Lundi).   And, sure enough, as I tilted
the print into the light there it appeared!

One question:   Yesterday I was given a copy of Keiko Hiratsuka Moore's
1973 publication "Moku Hanga:  How to make Japanese wood block prints";
printed by Acropolis Books Ltd., Washington, D. C.   I've not read it all
yet but it seems to be a very straight-forward work with numerous splendid
drawing illustrations and several fine black & white prints.   Are folks
familiar with this work?  I'd never come across it before.  Her father
was Un-ichi Hiratsuka.

Interesting to hear about this ... _and_ April's teaching, _and_
Graham's upcoming workshop.  I noticed yesterday that Matt too, has been
busy teaching, doing a course over the past few days.  I sure hope some
of these students get enthusiastic about woodblock!

By the way, Matt has obviously been too busy to let us know, but there
are a whole bunch of new prints up on his web site.  

http://www.ooloopress.com

... and head over to the Gallery section, then to the 1999 prints ...

He's also got a section of prints by his students - very interesting
work.

***

Another bunch of 'new' printmakers have been added to the 'Printmakers
on the Web' page in the Encyclopedia ...

Subject: [Baren 4363] two treats! 

Yesterday I went to check my PO box to find 2 special treats - the catalog 
from the show that Hideshi is in (he has a great print in there, the catalog 
is beautifully printed and the show itself is very interesting), and 
Michael's lovely package w/the book and CD.  What talented people we have on 
this forum!  
Best regards,
Sarah
