Subject: [Baren 3055] Wood patch?? 

Hello,
on someone's reccomendation I purchased the ZAR wood patch to fix little
and a tad bigger than little imperfections on my plate only to find out
that it was not waterproof. I found myself with some nice little holes
after trhe second copy. Does anybody know of a product that will work
with water based technique. This is the 2nd failure I have with a
similar product.
Thanks,

Marco Flavio

Marco

I had the same problem with my exchange print.  I used Plastic Wood by
Bondex.  It worked perfectly and handled the water based ink with no
problem.  A small 5oz can costs about $2.50 and lasts a long time.  Well
worth it.

Cheers
Ray

Graham, you used the COMPUTER to make T-shirts???  Why not roll up your
blocks with screen printing ink and just print them on to the T-shirts?

  I was webbing about and chanced on WJ Phillip (whose work I don't
believe I'd seen before, and whose book 'Technique of the Color Woodcut'
is schedualed for inclusion in the Baren library) at:
      www.sharecom.ca/phillips 
It happens the book is on-line there as well, and his prints definitely
repay the viewing.  Hats off to the Canadians.              --GV

Thanks for your information offer Don.  I haven't tried UV plates yet, but
when I do, I know I'll need help.  You will hear from me one of these days.

Greg
There will be an exhibition of Phillip's woodblocks at the Victoria Art
Gallery during the time I am conducting the workshop in my studio.  This is
the reason for a scheduled visit to the Gallery at that time.   Some of his
prints are now priced at 1500.00 for the small images. The York Boat on Lake
Winnipeg, 1930,  26.1 x 35 cm, edition:150 was available at a local gallery
for 14000.00

Any body want me to buy it for them.  You Yanks get it for around 8500.00

Regards,

Graham
