I recently spent two weeks as a resident at the Contemporary Artist Center in North Adams, Mass. The master printer, Brandon Graving, built a monster 5 x 10 foot hydraulic printing press with 800,000 lbs. of pressure. It is an amazing press to work on for large woodcuts because you pull beautiful prints and get a great emboss. It is also great for monotypes which I experimented with a little. Well I know most of you work with a baren instead of a press but if anyone is interested it's worth checking out the web page www.thecac.org , the press is available for the private sessions or workshops. Check it out.

Andy, this press is certainly an interesting-looking object, before you even get to the functional aspect - I would love to draw it :)

Sorry that I know nothing about this type of press, but please keep us posted on what you decide to do....

best wishes
Sarah

Not quite in the same 'class' as the last link I sent, but this story
on 'Couch Art' may perhaps be of interest to some [Baren] members:

Tried to access this link but Washington Post insists on registration -
does everyone have to do this or just from Canada??

Aha! I had forgotten about that ... Yes indeed, you will need to
register with them if you wish to access their on-line stories. If you
choose to register, a cookie will be stored on your machine, and you
will then be free to read any of their material.

Apologies ... it's been so long since I registered with them that I
forgot that step was even necessary ...

Registration of some kind for on-line newspapers is just about universal in
Canada as well as the U.S. Some papers charge a fee.

Subject: [Baren 26270] Mike's Kyoto show ...
Send Message: To this poster

Mike Lyon's show in Kyoto opened yesterday (Monday), containing a
couple of dozen of the prints he has produced over the past year or so.
I'm sure he'll be posting a good selection of photos later for us to
see, but late last night I got an email from his cellphone letting me
know how the opening day went. Sounds like he had good TV coverage,
drew in quite a few people, and sold more than two dozen prints ...

Look forward to hearing his report!
