Greetings,
The Cismar craft festival in Schleswig Holstein, Germany is held every year in August. It attracts over 100 craftspeople and many thousands of people attend the weekend event.
I only took a few photos of the event early in the day to get a good view and chat. I hope the link will be of interest to our international forum and especially Bareners who themselves exhibit at festivals and craft fairs.

Hi Harry,

What a great location. I want to see close-ups of every booth, especially the printmakers'. I actually have a couple of lanterns exactly like those, made by a local craftsman (tho they aren't stained glass). ;-> What a great fair.

Announcement of another venue in South Africa for our benefit print sale and Carol Lyons has also confirmed an exhibit in NY so this is very promising.
We are over the $5000 mark now and hope we reach $10,000 total.. my goal for this project!
My best to you all
Barbara

Lookit my new-today taller work surface! Sawhorses and a door.

Little by little I get more organized in Studio V. It's a slower process than I expected (or hoped), but it's getting there.

Yesterday was the big test of what the priorities are for the space. (Read: I had to get a lot of printing done.) You might recall that I decided to participate in the Barenforum 50th print exchange, which requires the delivery of 101 tiny prints by the end of the month. You may also recall that I decided to experiment with woodcuts. And that I did so right before moving in to a new space. Just call me the Queen of Too Much at Once.

Last week I thought I had an image sorted out. Something simple and single color.

Four discarded blocks and one winner!
It was a disaster. I carved four different blocks, and worked each of those multiple times. I even switched to back to the comfort zone of lino instead of wood. Nope. All I got was a pile of black and white prints that I didn't like.
