Subject: [Baren 16959] Flyer for Firemens Benefit 


Hi
I hope I am allowed to attach. this flyer. It is posted in stores and 
libraries.  I have tried sending to just the group involved but that didnt 
work.  I hope this does.

We got good publicity in 2 local newspapers . Announcement and photo  will go 
in again for the Reception.   

Opening day of the exhibit was fine, but. I am working on getting more 
traffic into the Gallery, short of the "hook" or beckoning through the glass 
door.  Numerous signs are excellently placed in the Library.

Photos will follow. Will take more at the Reception and tour.

 Those who viewed the prints were very moved and impressed that  an Internet 
group,  Barenforum, has done this  All expressed how worthy the exhibit is. 
They knew nothing about woodblocks so I was glad I was there for 
explanations. I have them sign a guest book. Ask them to take a flyer  and 
suggest  they can put it up in their work place.

One was sold yesterday - John Centers.  Congrats to you John. 

Will keep you posted.
Carol

Hello all-
For those who are attending SGC in New Orleans, I've had a REAL hard time
finding hotel rooms, so if you haven't made reservations, I would ASAP.

By the way, who is coming? I'd like to meet you.

Hi there

My name is Jo.  I was hoping someone at Baren might be able to assist.
I teach printmaking to a group of adult Aboriginal students who are 
interested in doing an exchange with other  indigenous  adult printmaking 
students from around the word, particularly North America -  I am not sure 
where to start looking but I was hoping  perhaps someone here might know  
who, what or where to contact ?!  Thanks either way! 

Jo

Subject: [Baren 16962] RE; Presses


Hi Baren People

Since my press melted in the fire I thought I would do some sleuthing to 
find another. I had an Ettan press, but would be open to suggestions re; 
another type of press. I was interested in the Praga. Anyone have any 
information about it. They are sending me the catalogue, but nothing 
like first hand info. from a  user.

PS. Finished my first print ;"The Year of the Horse", since the fire and
it will be out as soon as I put the horses in their stalls (envelopes).
Thanks for all of the encouragement from you folks!!!!

Jeanne N.

Jeanne -
I thought that I had mentioned presses in a letter to you with the gift 
certificate, but I realize that in the press (no pun intended) of politics 
and running a business, the letter got shuffled to the bottom of a pile. I am 
sorry. First, the gift certificate which is wending its way to you as we 
speak, is already on your account in the amount of $750. Second, I have 
available for loan (or purchase if you want, later) a Polymetaal press from 
Holland. Printmakers Machine Company, as you may know, is a distributor of 
these presses. We have found them to be high quality, affordable equipment. 
I've really been amazed at the response to them since we introduced them in 
the U.S. about 3 years ago.
If you are interested, let me know what size requirements you might have, and 
Susan or I will check stock to see what we can come up with for you.

Print Australia might be a good place to start.
