Somewhere in the mayhem of NWPC Open House, Crossing Boundaries, etc. I've
missed out on something about paper for the fireman's print? Is there
something I should know about this?

A while back around July, there was a good discussion line that centered on
online education for printmakers. Many fine points were brought forth and
also the many limitations of the current medium. Tyrus, Bill, Maria, Jim
and many others brought up some very interesting discussion.

While is certain that the Barenforum.org site has helped many of us get
started in woodblock printmaking...or at least provided solutions for
others....there is that personal face-to-face, real-time connection that
still is out of reach. Many of us use the exchange prints as learning
tools...as no PC screen can accurately convey the feeling of holding a real
print at hand.  While we may not be there yet.....David's webcam setup in
his studio is another great step toward the day when we can really
communicate face-to-face.

Real time audio & video are a reality and I can see the day when a teacher
(printmaker ?) could be in real time contact with a cyber class with both
students and teachers able to interact with each other. How difficult would
it be for the BarenMall (or any other printmaker supplier) to put together
a beginner's kit ?....a bit of paper, a couple of blocks...some
brushes....inks....etc... and to make this product available to
printmakers-wanna-be's  class ?  There are rumors that one supplier in
Japan is working on a kit of pre-cut woodblocks based on famous japanese
prints...complete with instructions on finishing the rough-carving of the
blocks and how to print them.

What about the current DVD technology ?....used as a supporting tool for an
online course ?

I think we are close!

thanks...Julio (Skokie, Illinois)

boo hoo.  I thought my firemans prints would be in the mail tomorrow.  They
are finished but the thalo blue ink is just not dry.  And if you know thalo
bue you know that stuff spreads everywhere, so sending wet ones is not an
option.  I leave Thursday and can not get back home to finish the signing
until after the 14th of Nov.  But it seems I have til Feb.  so  It will be a
bit yet

If I can have a set, I can get it shown here in Tampa and marketed as well.
