Welcome, Charles! Look forward to your Baren participation and hope you'll
look into our quarterly print exchange program:

Charles, welcome to Baren.
I see you are interested in German expressionism.
Western oilheads, like myself, are abundant amongst the tolerant Moku Hanga printers so you won't be alone!
One of the best slideshows I have seen on expressionist prints is at the MOMA
http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2002/brucke/
I always have to refresh the exhibition page before entering.

Send Message: To this poster

Thank you for the solutions sent from all over the world.

WD 40 sprayed on, then wiped clean is what worked. I use a barrier paper and
am water-based.

Now I'm rolling with experiments on several kinds of paper.

What a pleasure! What a group!

Wow, what a wonderful museum. Makes me wish I could go there to see it in
person. Thank you for sharing the info/links. I'll put that on my list of
places to visit.
I've been reading for a week now and figured that I should eventually
introduce myself. My name is Connie Lambert. I met April Vollmer at
Frogman's this past summer. I didn't have the workshop with her but often
dropped in on the Hanga class she was teaching. I found it very fascinating.

I found the Baren site while surfing April's site.
On a more personal note. I had several printmaking classes in college in the
late 80's, but upon graduating I promptly found a "real" job to pay the
bills. After spending several years in advertising (which I enjoyed) I was
reintroduced to printmaking, primarily the non-toxic collagraph process. The
texture and layering that you can achieve with this process appealed to me.
In order to have access to a press I signed up for 12 semesters of the same
class at the community college. Taking a semester off to have my first
child.
Upon deciding to stay at home with my daughter I quit the advertising job,
BOUGHT A PRESS - Yipee!!!! and spent what little free time I had printing.
Now I have a second daughter, but I'm still printing. I'm addicted. Hook
line and sinker. I mix and match the processes. If I had to choose a
favorite process it would probably be collagraph. I hope that doesn't mean I
can't be a part of Baren. I like to layer lots of colors, and textures. I
use several plates made by different printing methods.

I've got a web site in the works. But as I'd rather spend free time printing
the website has been lower on the priority list.
Mr. Lyon, I have to say that your work is truly amazing. I'm at a loss to
figure out just how you keep it all in register.

If anyone has any questions about me or my work, please ask. Or if anyone
has any links/groups/forums on other printmaking processes that you think I
might enjoy please advise.
