[Baren] Exchange #15 ...

 

Details of [Baren Exchange 15]
  • Medium: Traditional Japanese polychrome wood block print (hand rubbed with baren, multi-block, water color pigments, Japanese printmaking paper)
  • Theme: Moku-hanga (Japanese wood block technique -- multi-block water-color prints on washi)
  • Paper: chu-tanzaku a standard paper dimension measuring from a minimum of 15 x 5 inches (38 x 12.7 cm) to a maximum of 15 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches (39.4 x 13.3 cm). It is half of an oban sheet cut lengthwise and usually designed with the long dimension running vertically... Note: in previous exchanges the coordinators have had many problems with prints that don't fit the cases, so we emphasize - prints that do not meet the published specification will be rejected from the exchange and returned to the maker. No exceptions.
  • Paper type: washi (Japanese paper)
  • Registration period: One month starting October 1 (or until 30 participants are enrolled)
  • Work period: Three months starting November 1
  • Deadline for finished prints: February 1st, 2003
  • A page of guidelines (can we call them 'rules'?) for participants has been set up here. Please read them over before deciding whether or not to apply for participation.
