Subject: [Baren 8772] combo press=20

Jean,
I have the combination press from printmakers supply, it is 20 years old
and going strong, 27x48" bed. I really like it. Conrad Machine makes
these for Printmakers supply, but they are probably the same price both
places. conrad also makes the french tool american press, so you know
they are good. I just came from the SGC conference and Takach and Conrad
were there as well as a new company called Whelan Press. This was a cool
press for a small studio as the roller moved instead of the bed, so it
took up less space as the bed did not go beyond the press. Also it was
spring loaded so if you ever ran anything ugly (knife?) through by
accident it would not damage the roller. I have heard good things about
it, but it is new!so who knows? And the neat thing was Sasha Semenoff
had a palm press that would print a litho by hand, a sort of ball
bearing roller thing with 6 or 7 small rollers in it.
Best of luck,
Barbara

Subject: [Baren 8778] SGC Conference=20

I am still on east coast time, but the good news is I got up at 4:45 and
read all that e-mail until 7:30, WHEW! Next time I go away I will
un_sub_scribe for the week.

I saw so much great art and learned so many new things that my head is
bursting, not much on woodblock, unfortunately. Guess it is hard to
improve on 300 years of all the problems being solved.

I tried the Akua Kolor ink (pronounced a ku a) and really, really liked
it. It is going to sweep the printmaking world. Also the amazing Green
Drop Ink people surfaced, so that was nice. I spent a lot of money on
ink and can't wait to try it all. I had an unexpepcted visit the day
after the conference with Nik Semenoff, the printmaking litho guru from
Saskatoon. We met by accident in a mall by the water where I was waiting
for a boat trip around the bay so spent a happy hour talking
printmaking.

The whole mood of the SGC was away from oil and towards water soluble
and away from toxic and toward safer studios. There was too much info to
put on Baren, but as I decipher all my literature and remember all the
demos I saw, I will post a few things over the next few weeks.

I did see some interesting press boards they are selling at pearl art
for woodblock. They looked like they would work and I brought a couple
home to try. Very fine pressboard, must be made out of true dust. I
wonder if the glue in it will dull the kinves faster than anything? We
will see, it did cut pretty well, though, and they had horrible tools to
try it with.

I saw a special tool to hold the angle of the knife when sharpening. Has
anyone used one of these? It looked like it would work. I think holding
that angle is the hardest part of sharpening a tool.

Meeting Dan and Jeanne and Horacio was wonderful, also met Haydee
Landing and Karla Hackenmiller and Roxanne Sexhauer but did not get to
spend time with anyone except Jeanne and Dan and Sheri LaPierre.

There were quite a few woodblock prints in the exhibitions and
portfolios, almost all oil based ink. Dave, you should consider coming
over and doing a hanga demo. The SGC is in Austin, Texas next year,
maybe someone from the US will go and demo hanga. What a shame that
there was no real representation either in the exhibitions nor the
demos. April, what about you? I hear Texas is beautiful and warmer than
NY in March!

I did join the Florida Printmakers as it is only $15 and they seem to
take people from all over the country. A good opportunity to show work
in Florida. I also ordered a book about 3" thick of all the printmaking
workshops in the US.

Jeanne and I had a great time rooming together, once we got to the same
hotel. The plane I was on going into Miami had an unidentified suitcase
on board, so we made an emergency landing at Orlando and it was truly an
amazing experience. They opened the back of the plane and got us off it
very quickly, then checked it out. There were emergency crews of every
kind, dogs for sniffing, fire engines, ambulances, police cars. You name
it, they were there. It was pretty impressive the way TWA went out of
their way to make sure we were all safe and cared for. We were 4 1/2
hours delayed and they had to reroute a plane from NY to Miami to stop
and pick us up, as when they open that chute out the back it pretty well
deactivates that plane until they can put it back. The expense to the
airlines must have been enormous. They fed us and did everything in
their power to be sure we were safe and comfortable and eventually to
our destinations. I was so impressed. Once was enough however, I don't
want to do it again.

Ray Esposito was there also and did his best to chauffer Jeanne and
Sheri and Myself and a friend of Sheri's all over the place. It sure
beat taking the bus and he even took us out for dinner, eventually. The
first night he promised dinner but we went to an opening with great
food, so we ended up driving through Miami Beach to see the art deco
buildings and had desert at a dunkin donuts. We did not let him forget
it and the next night had Italian food, which unfortunately was not
free. All in all it was a great time but I am glad to be home.

More later,
Barbara.
