Introduction

My name is Wimberley and I have been a lurker on the Baren Blog for over a year. I have previously taken classes with Mike Lyon and April Vollmer. Both were terrific teachers. I am interested in the next year or so in taking a class in Japan. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where, when, how long, etc. I look forward to participating more in the Baren Blog.

Sun Fading and UV-Glass protection

There is a fine article at the Ukiyoe gallery website on the effects of sun fading on prints. The website is run by Thomas Crossland and is full of many interesting articles.
