Subject: [Baren 27329] Introduction of Sorts
Send Message: To this poster

Hi,

I just joined the list and as tradition has it, I though I would post an
introduction.

My name is Ehud and I am a special educator working with students who have
multiple and profound disabilities in Langley, British Columbia.

I am also a student at the Vancouver Community College in the Professional
Photography Diploma, part-time. I have no space for a darkroom so much of
my photography is limited to what can be done in class. Therefore, I have
been looking for another artistic outlet.

I have always been interested in printmaking but not really followed-up on
the interest other than an occasional professional development class.
Lately, I have been thinking about photogravure which as led me to relief
printmaking as I cannot afford a press. I have done some wood carving in
the past which has further led me to woodblock printmaking.

I am starting to carve some rubber blocks and linoleum as preparation to
moving to a wood block.

So, here I am, a black slate trying to figure out where to begin.

Ehud

PS: Feel free to check out my photo website even though it is not related
to woodblock printing.
PPS: I do not have an art background so the concept of drawing and colour
theory scares me quite a bit.

Dear Dan Dew. (and Megan too),

Your belated monkeys arrived in my mail box and were both hugely
appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
and, to all those whose terrific rooster prints have been steadily arriving,
I promise to get mine out before May Day..., this May Day. (The lord willing
and the creek don't rise)

Hi Ehud,

Welcome to Barenforum.org.........you are in good company, look around
the website (www. barenforum.org) for all that Baren has to offer, make
sure you check the members exchanges and the printmaking
encyclopedia......a good starting point for mulitple block printing is the
link that Dan posted yesterday from David Bull's website it will take you
step by step thru the making of a print:

http://www.woodblock.com/encyclopedia/entries/000_09/000_09_frame.html

have fun looking around and we are glad to have you onboard......Julio
Rodriguez (Skokie, Illinois)

ps... for the next theme I like what everyone has thrown out....how about
"Dream & Visions about Exotica" (or if you make it 'Erotica' that would
cover those that
want it to do Nudes.....) ;-)

Welcome... What beautiful photographs. You certainly have a wonderful eye
for composition and design which will translate well into printmaking.
