Subject: [Baren 42677] Latest prints and a query about the lino print
Send Message: To this poster

Greetings Bareners,

I have uploaded my latest prints to my web pages.

www.harryfrenchartworks.co.uk

The prints are experimental and non edition, but may be of interest to you.

I recently returned to my long term interest in the lino print and would
appreciate any comments to my query : Has the lino print a new status in
the 21st century? The reason I ask is that the lino print was regarded by
many as a print method to be used in schools. I am, of course, aware of the
20c artists who introduced lino printing and, like our own 1930's Grosvenor
School, can command up to 30,000 pounds for a print. It appears that (in UK) over
the past quarter of a century the craft has almost disappeared from the
school curriculum.

A new generation of the UK public seem now curious and interested about this
new (old) technique and do not associate it with school art.

Could the lino print now be, or has it always been on par with the woodcut,
or is that going too far!

Regards
Could

I just LOVE those kiosks, Harry! Sorry, though, I have no clue how lino will
fit into art history.

Maria, My prints were sent yesterday but when I went to the post office I learned that the stamp
I put on the envelope back to me is missing .25 cents. You probably have to add it or they'll
send it back to you. Sorry. Bea

Lacquer thinner will remove sharpie marks... be careful that it does
not dissolve the linoleum.
Do this outside to prevent inhaling the fumes.

Hi Georga,



I'm afraid you will have to deal with acetone; wear gloves if you are
sensitive and use outside if you can because of the fumes. It's cheap,
that's the good part.



If you don't want to use a solvent, you might try GoofOff or Goo-gone or one
of the acetone/citrus based cleaners for removing adhesive residues and such
things but they are tiny little bottles and rather expensive. Most of them
contain acetone anyway disguised in a citrus base. They are available at
home improvement stores or online or wally-world or .



Then you can wash the lino with mild detergent to get rid of the acetone
smell or the goo-gone oiliness.

Maria

Subject: Mystique series #11~12 : carving update ...
Posted by: Dave Bull

Lots done over the past few days, but not too much that I can show here, beyond this quick webcam capture of the key block for #1 - Seki-san's design of the Urashima Taro legend.

As you can see, the key block is nearly done; I just have to work out his hair.

Among the other activities that have eaten up the time have been getting the winter newsletter out the door (it'll be up on the site perhaps in a couple of days), and making a trip to Tokyo for the new year meeting of the craftsmen's association. That went well this year, as you can read in the Story A Week published this morning.

I was also down in Tokyo a couple of days earlier, making a visit to young printer Hirokazu Tetsui, and to drop off some blocks with him! I had promised myself that once the mortgage payments were 'history' I would start using some of that money for advancing the Mokuhankan venture, and here we go ... (I'll be posting more details about Tetsui-san and this job sometime soon over on the 'Mokuhankan Conversations' website, which I have been neglecting recently. I'm not quite sure how to handle the distribution of the 'news' from now on ... and there might be a bit too much cross-posting ... We'll see.)

Anyway, his first job will be to run up a batch of 100 copies of the Heron and Crow print from the Mokuhankan catalogue. . . .
