Subject: [Baren 18955] 14 and 14a printed 

finished both prints today.    I like the open subject exchange as i can send 
out work i am currently working on.   currently working on an exchange print 
on 150 copies  31 feels like a cake walk esp when printed on a press.     150 
by hand would be impossible  even hand inking on a press is a lot of work.

Thanks, Julio, for the publicity but unfortunately the class at Snow
Farm has been cancelled due to a small enrollment.   So it goes!

For a great look at animal & nature woodblock prints by Baren member Andrea
Rich, take a peek at the
Williams Gallery website:

http://www.galwest.com/fine_art/a_rich/default.htm

Andrea's colorful and highly detailed prints are simply wonderful.

thanks....Julio Rodriguez

John, wow! both sets of prints done....glad you are feeling better, or at
least well enought to print. Here's hoping for a speedy & full recovery.

Ray, so sorry to hear the class was cancelled, perhaps down the road there
will be another opportunity.  I noticed on Snow Farm's website that Matt
Brown gave a woodblock class back in the spring.

For those that are starting out or wanting to try doing some hand printing
with a baren, you can see a short animated clip of how to move the baren
across the paper at  Matsumura-san's website.  Mr. Matsumura is the main
supplier for the BarenMall
(check the BarenMall link for easy ordering).  Don't miss the how-to on the
2001-New Year Card and the cute photo of the shop's entrance. Hey, is that
David Bull I see driving away in a truck full of lumber ?

If you see something there that you are interested on, but not on the
BarenMall supplies list, it could probably be special ordered and delivered
thru the usual BarenMall process. Check out those prices on
sharkskins...very reasonable considering you don't have to get wet or get
near a live shark's teeth !

Subject: [Baren 18960] BiroBidjan Print Portfolio 

There is a fine article in today's Arts section of the Chicago
Sun-Times titled "Prime Cuts".  It details a benefit print
portfolio created by a group of 14 Jewish artists from Chicago
during the Depression and on the eve of the Holocaust.  It was
to benefit BiroBidjan, an autonomous Jewish settlement in
Siberia.  The lone surviving portfolio has been given to an
Oakton Community College, Skokie, instructor who has given it to
the college.  
It is an interesting article.  I found the criticism of the
framing to be of some import to us all as print artists.  The
second e-address is from the college itself and takes us through
the prints and the artists.
