Welcome Shannon and any others I've missed.  All I'm thinking about
these days is Graham's workshop and getting ready for that big train
trip west.  So many details we must attend to as we'll be gone for the
whole month of June.  I've started lifting weights again, getting ready
for using that baren.  I remember when Wanda (I think it was Wanda,
maybe Barbara) said she didn't realize how much pressure you have to use
on the baren.

Does anyone (April? Sarah?) have prints exhibited in Manhattan now?  My
husband and I will be there on Saturday for the opening of his Kobe
classmate's exhibit and as we may have some free time, I thought I'd
check.

I received my dragons yesterday and was happy to find Ruth Leaf's print
in my group.   It seems the majority of my prints were from Wellesley or
CA ... some fun things!

Carol,  I got the edition varie' from a french printmaker and I've also
seen it on prints in shows.  However I'm sure that's not the only way to
let people know that there are other similar prints.  So if it works for
you by all means use it.  Ruth

Good grief!  I suspect that there might be a wee misunderstanding
involved here.  Gayle, I've been printmaking for 20 years now, the last
12 of that professionally, and I make a lot of prints ... a _lot_ of
prints.  

But you know what?  I'm a 120 lb. weakling.  If Sadako and I were to
arm-wrestle, the outcome would be in some doubt (I said 'if' because
we've never tried - I know she doesn't want to embarrass me ...).  I
have no upper body strength, and I mean no as in _none_. 

My advice on how best to prepare for that week in June?  Carve, carve,
carve, carve, carve ... and bring the blocks with you. Graham may have a
different viewpoint on this, but I think that far and away the most
valuable way you will be able to use that week of contact with more
experienced printmakers, is in _printing_ practice, and for that, you
will need some blocks ready.

Why do I emphasize printing? Because even though I think I'm a
'hot-shot' carver, I recognize that 99% of the beauty and interest in a
print comes from the printer's skill.  A good printer can make an
interesting print from _any_ blocks.  Give a good printer a barn board
and a hammer and he should be able to make an interesting print.

So I want to practice _printing_ in June!  And as I said, for that you
are going to need some blocks.

**

Maybe this is a good time to add something for the people who are coming
in June.  I'm sure that Graham has a pretty full schedule planned for
you, but I want to toss out another idea for you to consider.  I myself
will of course have my own printing bench and stuff set up somewhere in
one corner (or a closet or someplace, wherever he finds room for me),
and will be working on one of my Surimono prints during that week.  But
I think it would also be useful if you had a chance to see how a more
experienced printer worked with _your_ blocks, so I would like to
encourage you to bring along a set of blocks for a print you made
previously. We could do it one of two ways: I could sit there and simply
act as your 'hands' while you direct operations (working as an
artist/printer collaboration), or you could just let me print them in
some way that _I_ think would make a good print. Either way, it should
be pretty educational I think ...

**

On another matter - I need a small favour please - would one of the 
[Baren] people who is involved with Ray's 'Printhouse' project, please 
do a small 'review' of the place and the website for the 'Organizations' 
section of the Encyclopedia ...

Ray is opening up the site to the public this weekend, and I'd like to
have a link in that section of the Encyclopedia for him.  I don't mean a
long story - take a look in that section to see what I mean (the 'Other
Sources of Information' section of the Encyclopedia).

TIA

Dave

This one is for Dan and all the other newbies.

Dan asked
"Quick question:  In going through the list of participants in exchange
#5, I
ran across 6 names that I can't find any samples of their work either in
the
members/forum area or the slide show.
I'm curious.  I like to look at your work, then try to imagine what you
are
doing for the exchange, but I can't look if you not there.
They are: Margaret Szvetecz, Liz Horton, Jandi Goshert, Josephine
Severn,
Christina Blank, Horacio Soares Neto"
*************

Dan, a little while ago Julio posted this URL which has a lot of web
information on bareners for you to look through
http://www.skokienet.org/bandits/jcrstuff/skokie-exhibit.html

There are examples of my work on the Studio Dalwood site at
http://www.acay.com.au/~severn/studio.htm
>From that address you will also find the dragon cards that we have been
exchanging and the information for the sacred tree exchange. I have a
few new cards to add and am waiting on the oregon package of dragons to
add as well. I am told they are on their way...
I havent worked it out yet but who made the wonderful origami dragon??
Its beautiful.

There are examples of a whole lot of other printmakers including
bareners on the Print AUstralia website at
http://www.acay.com.au/~severn
Plus enough links to print based sites to keep you busy for weeks

This website is being rebuilt off line at the moment, so be prepared for
some changes some time in the future. The site was originally started as
the website the Print Council of Australia would like to have if they
were online. I even offered to build them a free one but they are
grossly underfunded and overworked and havent been able to accept my
offer yet. The new site will seek to cover the gap the PCA have left by
not having their quarterly Journal on-line. There will be an e-zine
focusing on Aus print activities. Early days yet, will give you more
info about this and other new things coming, once I've finished
building. Its taking a long time because its a complete site re-build
and Im doing about one hour per day.

Julio, did you get my mail? Yes I know you are up to your neck in
alligators (dragons?) just nod or wave or something.

Subject: [Baren 8978] fun world map charset="iso-8859-1" 

Just so I don't get bored with life, I started playing around with this
little map-maker software the other day. It maps sections of an image and
makes "hot-spots" linked to whatever I want to link to. Yes yes, you can do
this manually with HTML, but please! how primitive!
So aaaaaanyway! I thought it would be neato to have a World Map of
Printmaking sites, huh? huh? Okay, well, _I_ like the idea.
SO! if you live in the world (I, for one, have been accused of belonging to
another planet) AND you would like to be part of the world map of
printmaking, send me your URL and your general location in the world and I
will give you a "hot spot" all of your own.
I must warn you I already have some of you all mapped out, like Australia
and GS in Canada, and of course our friends in Japan, Brazil, Mexico,
England, and Cuba (I stuck you there, Julio).
What I thought I could do is get as many sites as will fit and upload it to
my website.  Visitors could then look at the map, click on Brazil or Mexico
or France and find printmaker's from that neck of the woods.
Oh man, I haven't had this much fun since Yuki got her lovely big-fat head
stuck in the security bars of the back door (it's been a while, today she
could not get her muzzle through there).
Send! Send! offlist please

************************************************* 
   [Baren] News Feed ... March 24th, 2000 
*************************************************

The [Baren] NewsFeed is still here, trying to keep you on top of what's
going on in the [Baren] world! 


EXCHANGES

(*) The deadline for Exchange #5 arrives in one short week, and
coordinator Maria is ready to get out her whip to chase down the
stragglers.  (Remember, this lady is used to dealing with a pair of
_wolves_, so she won't hesitate to use that thing on a mere printmaker
...)  As usual, the excitement about the exchange and seeing all the
prints starts to build as the end of each exchange nears.   We'll keep
you posted when they go up on the [Baren] website in a couple of weeks
...

(*) Sign up for Exchange #6 begins on the 1st of the month.  As always,
first priority will go to members who did not participate in the
immediately preceding exchange. This advance period is for _one week
only_, so get in there quickly.  General sign-up begins on April 8th.   
Remember, the theme for this one will be 'open', and the paper size is
relatively small, so for some of you 'newbies' who have been standing at
the edge of the pool with your toe dipped into the water ... it's time
to jump in!
http://www.w.com/forum/exchange/exchange_sign-up.html

(*) The SwapShop is slowly getting up to steam with prints on the way,
and a lot more promised.  This early period, waiting for the first
folders to fill up, is the most difficult, but once we get this ball
rolling, things should move more smoothly.  SwapShop info page: 
http://www.w.com/forum/swapshop/index.html


ACTIVITIES

Maria Arango, editor of our new newsletter, 'Baren-Suji', tells me that
the first issue is all primed for launch exactly as planned on April
1st.  Only _she_ knows just how much work went into getting it ready for
publication - and she's not telling!

Remember that Baren-Suji will not be sent out over the forum, as it is
too long (and too colourful!).  If you want to receive this first copy
'hot off the press', visit the sign-up page at:
http://w.com/forum/newsletter/sub_newsletter.html

Maria is now collecting submissions for the second issue.  Get on it!


EXHIBITIONS

(*) Julio's dynamite exhibition at the library in Skokie, Illinois is
now primed and ready to explode. Julio's family has now completely
forgotten what he looks like, as they can't find him under the vast pile
of framed prints in their living room.  But those will be cleared out
any minute now, when he hangs the show.  Once we get some photos, we'll
be letting you know where you can see them. If there is anything you can
do to help at this late stage, Julio can be contacted at:
Julio.Rodriguez@walgreens.com

(*) Greg's Kampala exhibition also seems to be on schedule (at least we
haven't heard that he's trying to 'get out of town' quickly ...).  It's
still not too late to get your prints to him ... if you're in any doubt
about this, get in touch with him _soon_, at: grobison@swiftuganda.com


WORKSHOP NEWS

John Amoss over in Georgia is now part-way through his second (annual?)
woodblock printmaking class.  He says that the students are so
enthusiastic that he actually has to walk over to the wall and turn off
the room lights in order to clear them out every evening.  Looking
forward to some photos, John!


IN THE MARKETPLACE

Visited eBay recently?  

A couple of woodcut books by Lynd Ward are going this week (auctions
ending the 28th).  Type 'Lynd Ward' into the search engine to find them
...

How about Bibliofind?

No less than _three_ copies of Frank Morley Fletcher's book on Woodblock
Printmaking are available on Bibliofind right now, and one of them is
priced as a 'steal'!  Head for http://www.bibliofind.com, and type 'F
Morley Fletcher' or 'Frank Morley Fletcher' into the search engine.


ADMINISTRATION

Remember that a section of 'quick links' to many [Baren] activities is
always available on the main website.  If you can't remember 'where to
go', check that page at:
http://w.com/forum/admin.html

***

This has been a second sample of the [Baren] NewsFeed, trying to keep
you in touch with what's going on in [Baren].  If it starts to get
support from members with 'hot' news that can't wait three months for
the next scheduled issue of 'Baren-Suji', it might even be repeated!
