Hi Everyone!
I would appreciate the opportunity to buy paper at the Summit. It would be a 
lot less to worry about if I only had to pack it one way!
See you all soon!

Hi All -

How I wish I were coming to the Summit - hope it's successful
enough to entertain the possibility of another one - I expect to
be cutting and printing and meeting printmakers in the U.K. Has
anyone heard of an artist by the name of Emma Stibbon? She's
based in Bristol and I recall seeing a traveling show that came
to Bournemouth 2 yrs ago of ENORMOUS woodcuts -

I shall have to come off the mail list while I'm away but will be
collecting mail at lcass#canada.com -(all the daily baren mail
would be just too much to cope with since I'll be using a local
cafe or library or the odd relative's facilities)

Carol Lyons - what a pity our paths won't be crossing 'over
there' since you'll be back for the Kansa City meeting - I expect
to arrive at Heathrow on the 30th (May).

While I'm writing - is there anyone out there in the U.K. (apart
from the Wilson Harveys) who might want to make contact with a
Toronto (very funny but apparently safe now!) artist?

best regards
Louise Cass

Subject: [Baren 21508] Re: inks 

On printing oil based over multi layers of oil based ink one thing you should 
keep in mind is that oil based ink dries into the paper and air.  The dried 
oil based ink seals the paper so the upper layers take much longer to dry so 
you should use cobalt dryer.  Multi layered oil based ink can get glossy so 
if that bothers you use "dull it" from graphic chem.  There is also a product 
out there that makes oil based ink adhere to dried ink but I have never had 
to use it so it's name slips my addled brain.

Oil based inks can have as many different effects as Japanese printing style 
and take many years to prefect, humm more ideas.????

I am working on a small artist book on the subject of war/peace the sheet of 
paper is bigger than 10 by 15 but will fold into 10 by 15 is that OK?  I have 
wanted to do an artist book on this subject it is a folded book that will be 
10 by 15 when finished?

On the summit I am wondering if certain things will be avabile    as I am 
traveling by public transportation and can carry only so much.  Example might 
be sharpening stones and printing supplies such as brushes, ink, and/or 
paper, paying for the above would be no problem.  As I will be taking one 
bus, two subways, Amtrak train and a cab you can guess what paper would look 
like by the time I got there.

I am coming by Amtrak on June 14 I am not sure of the arrival time.

On another subject    could you send me more info on the "large print 
exchange II" I need the link as my computer has crashed and I lost the info.

Dear John,

1) I'm not certain exactly what you're asking...  #17 exchange: paper must 
be no larger than 10.5 by 15.5 inches.  No folding.

2) Summit: I have sharpening stuff and I'm sure others will, too.  I don't 
know whether you'll like my sharpening stuff or not.  There's a good chance 
that brushes, ink, paper, and other stuff will be available for purchase 
on-site.  That's the purpose of the survey I sent the summit participants 
earlier today.  Fill that out so Barbara Mason (Baren Mall) and 
Matsumura-san can put their heads together to figure out how to do the best 
job for us.

3) carrying stuff.  No need to carry stuff.  Pack up a box or two and ship 
it/them to yourself in care of me -- I sent my address a day or two ago for 
this purpose...  Let me know if you'd like me to send it to you again?

4) transportation...  Here's a lucky break:  Union Station is very close to 
the studio...  maybe 6 blocks.

5) LPE II link: http://www.rst-art.com/lpe.htm about 1/2 way down the page...

Just thought you'd like to know that the exhibition "Inspired by Japan" 
which includes selections from the Baren Moku-hanga portfolio has been 
getting a very positive response. I neglected to mention that Kat's print 
is also on display.
