Well, if you are into body prints and on the other “end” of things, you would be VERY interested in our own Charles Morgan’s (a kind of a Benjamin Franklin In printmaking) workshop in face printing. Very interesting indeed, both as a social experiment and a nature printmaking exercise.

I don’t know if Charles has anything online about that but if I remember correctly the Nature Printing Society may have some samples from previous workshops.

Subject: A CAUTIONARY TALE
Posted by: Dean Clark

The title might just say it all. I preface my remarks by saying I bear no ill will to any country mentioned in the following paragraphs, or to the people of said country.

My sad tale begins last Sunday morning, when I agreed to travel with my wife to a collage workshop in the Chicago suburbs. She had a two hour dog and pony show from 10:00am-12:00pm. There were about 20 people in attendance and they had some great questions about printmaking in general and paper specifically. It was the highlight of the day. Of course, if you read further you'll probably see that a root canal could have been the highlight of that particular day, had it not been for such a great event. Susan and Pete did a great job presenting on the papers we brought with us.

Canadian Flag


Fast forward to 10:30 pm after a long drive from Chicago to the threshold of Canada - Windsor, Ontario and the world famous Ambassador Bridge. We approached the bridge assuming that at that hour the crossing would be uneventful - well, not so much as it turns out. There were hundreds of cars, but we seemingly chose the right lane and in just a few minutes (well, maybe 20 minutes) we were at the check point. A few routine questions followed - what was the purpose of our visit? How long would we stay? Dhere]
