Due to events out of my control, the Kent/Geauga exhibit will be on
display in November instead of October.  The school needs that window I
was going to use.  The Student Senate's window is being taken over by
the Theater Department for the Fall play, so the Senate was given the
window I was to have used for the Baren display.    One good thing is I
will have my color printer in a week and there will be time to design a
post card.  I'll keep everyone posted and when the display is up I'll
send pictures to Show and Tell.  One positive thing may come out of it;
there might be a chance to demonstrate some woodcut techniques while the
exhibit is up, and I like the idea of people being able to watch the
process as well as look at the finished pieces.  After all, it is a
school and what better place is there for that?

Subject: [Baren 11520] Presses. 

I have been in and out lately with a new job and
have scanned through several weeks of digests.
I noticed a lot of conversation of various press
types. I would like to pass along something I
found very interesting. Some of you may know
about this already, but for those of you that are
in need of a quality press with limited budgets.

Most of the people on this list are inventive and
resourceful. Couple that with this information and
your imagination is the only limit. Build the press
of your dreams? Sure why not. There are some
estimated cost for items, but like I said, be resourceful.
Those costs are not etched in stone. I found quite a few
ways to get costs down, even trading services to get
what I need.
I love hand printing and it is my specialty, but the idea
of owning a beautiful custom built press is a very
strong desire. The idea of not limiting myself to one
technique is a driving force I can't fight. Using a
press seems to be considered a violation of purity
for some. For me, it  would be denying the desire
to explore.
