Hi Barb,

Wow, I don't know. I'll go with whatever gets decided but I don't have a great deal of sales experience. Certainly at least $50, but we don't want to price them too low either. People may feel generous when it's for charity.

For all the Baren members who are running blogs with 'Blogger' - and
that is a lot of you - please be aware that there is a major change
coming; Google is (apparently) going to be re-branding the service:
http://mashable.com/2011/07/05/google-blogger-picasa-rebranding/

It's too soon to tell exactly how this will be affecting your blogs,
or whether or not your URLs will be changing. I'll keep an eye open
from this end too, but if any of you hear any firm info on this - re
the URLs - please let me know, so that we can keep our Blog Feed up to
date.

Tx

Dave

Subject: Open Studio 2011
Posted by: Andy English

July 9-10th and July 16-17th 11am - 6pm


I am opening my studio during the next two weekends as part of the Cambridge Open Studios, which have run for over thirty years now. Click the banner for a link to the COS website. I am number 99 in the guide. If you cannot find my details, please email me (andyenglish*at*btinternet.com),



Here are some photographs from my last Open Studio in 2009:

There will be framed and unframed art for sale but you are welcome to come and just look; here is the 1865 Albion:

Subject: The printing bench - details
Posted by: Dave Bull

A couple of people asked the other day about the dimensions of the new printing bench. I'm not sure if it will really be of any use to talk about those, because the whole idea of such a bench is that it is customized to your own 'size', but anyway, here's what we are using.

Tsushima-san sits at the bench on the kneeling stool, with the mainpart of the bench brought forward over her legs:

The thing is designed so that the angle of her forearm matches the angle of the top of the bench:

This is far and away the most important point about this - her wrist stays straight. This almost completely eliminates any stress on that joint, and she'll never have any kind of problem with repetitive strains, etc. etc.

So here are our dimensions. But again, please don't take this as any kind of 'standard'. Build your own to suit your own dimensions!
