Hi,

Is there a mail list or discussion forum out there on the net that
specializes in Intaglio printmaking?

I have been looking on the net and cant seem to find one as popular or as
good as Baren is for woodblock - maybe I am not looking in the right places
though...

I guess the problem is that Baren is such a great forum with so many
wonderful and helpful artists that it's hard to copy the genuine article...

"What would the leading group think of letting people put a link within
the comments section when submitting print info?
What say everyone? Yeah? Nah? Don’t rock the boat? Let sleeping dogs lie?
"

I say go for it......sounds like a good idea Maria

I've kicked around the idea of hosting one through my site--http://aypressonline.com--but have been worried about the time investment. My type of intaglio is fairly specialized in that I use safer, less-toxic materials. Once the plate is made, however, the printing is the same.

Subject: Not just an aspiring artist, but an artist
Posted by: Elizabeth Busey

In a previous blog, I wrote about the pleasure I had of talking with a group of young women about my art, and about being an artist who is a woman.  When asked for some advice, one of the things I mentioned was that they should practice saying into a mirror "I am an artist" or "I am a writer" -- and leaving out those qualifiers like aspiring.  It is hard for most creative women I know to do this.  Why?

This week my art group (made up of only women) screened the documentary "Who Does She Think She Is?"  The film follows the lives of five women and asks the question "why does everyone expect women to choose?"  Choose between making art, and being a mother, a partner, an income earner, a nurturer.  The women profiled were amazing in their artistry and the tenacity with which they pursued their creative dreams.  But their artistic lives were often interrupted by relationship challenges, the demands of mothering, and the realities of economic circumstances.

Elizabeth Busey, The Muses.  Woodcut,  2006.
My first multiple block chiaroscuro woodcut.

For me, the film brought home many conflicting realizations.  It is hard to create art full-time, when full-time means school hours.  Or to keep creating when you worry that you should have a . . .
