Donald Sexauer taught printmaking at East Carolina University in
Greenville, North Carolina, for many years.  My wife took undergraduate
intaglio printmaking from him.
I believe he is about to retire.

Judy
I am sure that all of those who consented to appear in the Graphics Art
Center Exhibition are extremely grateful for all of the work you have done
to put the show together.
It would be nice if we could get a few of the Baren people together at the
opening!!!

OK you guys.

The shark skins are ready.
I have made a complimentary one for each of you attending the workshop.

After several methods I solved the gluing down the skins.
Stretched them when wet and tacked them down with staples.
Staples alone would not work as the skin need support overall.

When the skin was dry, I removed it from the board and then with contact
cement glued it down to a varnished board.   Works like a whistle now.

Were humming now by golly.

How big did your pieces of shark skin turn out to be once they are all
stretched and stuck down?

They range from 12" x 5" down to 10" x 3"
A local fisherman saved me the biggest of the days catch.
The biggest shark was 30" nose to tail.

Cheers,

Mine is in that larger range, but the grain runs the short way, side to
side. Do you suppose that it matters?

I don't think so.... It may take longer to prepare your brush as you would
have to take more strokes being it is short.  I'm sure it will do fine. I
haven't yet done much work on my brushes but will get a serious session
this week.

It struck me now that that must have been one big shark.... the 12" is the
vertical side of the shark. Wow.
