Hanga Conference aka Hanga Intensive
Am thinking of  how I can swing it ( or hack it  in the tradition of 
Munakata!)

I was wondering about travelling by plane and how to manage the knives and 
tools I dont want to part with.
Any ideas?
Will return Sunday, Mar 10

Good question.
I would either ship them ahead of time to the hotel or Mike's studio (if he
agrees to receive a bunch of packages containing knives!) or you can always
check them in your luggage. Or you can ship them to someone who will drive.
As long as I don't try to carry fruit through California, flowers through
Colorado or go through the Boulder Dam with the trailer, I can get them
there without being bothered  [:-)]

Regarding this 2003 gathering, if I come alone i would camp on the floor 
with a pad.  If the husband tags along we will find a motel or he will have 
the camper bus and we could camp in that.  first he has to get the bus 
rebuilt and ready  hahaha.  Where in Kansas?  It is long flat prarie, would 
we be in the city?

Hi, Carol...

Ship them ahead, or pack them in checked luggage.  You won't be allowed to 
carry them on.  We'll arrange to pick air travelers up at the airport -- 
probably inconveniently, like be at Gate 6 in Terminal A at such and such a 
time.

Carol,
You can send them UPS ahead of you, or put them in your suitcase and check
them. Either will work and shippping UPS you can insure them. No problem
checking tools, just carring them on the plane.

Bareners...
If you want a case for #13, please go to this url
http://www.barenforum.org/mall/products/exchange_cases.html and order one.
We want to get them on the way so we can ship them by boat instead of air.
You have a few days, but do go and order one or email me and let me know you
will be ordering one so I can order them from Japan. These are the 8 1/2"x10
1/2" size, so if you need one for a previous exchange in this size let me
know and we will do that also.
Thanks to all,

Yes, checked luggage will be inspected (xray'd intensively).  Don't check
film these days!!  Carving tools in it would not be an issue, however,
because they are not accessable to the passenger in flight.

I got stopped at security in Mexico City last month because I'd packed too
many batteries for my camera!  I'd gone on a battery buying binge before
leaving home and had twice as many as I could possibly need.  They said that
I could only carry on as many as the camera actually required.  I'm not sure
what their issue was... I think it was that batteries could not be proven not
to be little explosives.  In any case, I was able to check the bag with the
batteries.

I would be remiss if I didn't add that you can find Yes Glue at Graphic 
Chemical as well. We're a little higher, but we would be willing to match 
prices on this.

Subject: [Baren 17387] thanks re yes glue etc 

	
Hello all who helped with my inquiries -
Thanks to Barbara Mason and Bill Ritchie - my chine colle experiments are
going well now - (will have some examples up on my site shortly - I've
practically given up painting to satisfy my refound obsession with the
woodcut - I'd love to get to Kansas City [wasn't that the home of the
Wizard of Oz?] to expose myself to another possible obession with
'moku-hanga'....?
Back to chine colle with hand pulled prints -the secret seems to be
printing on dry paper - PVA glue works ok but the wheat starch adhesive is
much nicer to work with - it's expensive tho' and the Yes glue sounds
similar - I'm using waterbased inks right now - oilbased  which I've been
using for hand-coloured  dont seem necessary.

Thanks to Randi and Carol for suggestions - but surely Toronto has some Yes
- -somewhere - I'll look for local bookbinders and printers before ordering
from the West coast. 

J.N. Chase- your name was mentioned the other day when I was at Praga
buying some stuff which comes from Grahic Chemical - what a small world!
I'd had their
printing inks years ago but now the estab. is so real to me. 

To my fellow Canadians - nothing much seems to be manufactured here does it?
I wonder how we manage - when I lived in Greece (so much smaller comme
pays)	there was no end of wonderful materials to be found - even their
stretchers were better and cheaper than here!

Barbara - hasn't my little print for American Alliance arrived yet - it'll
be 2 weeks tomorrow that it was mailed-

Has the quota for the music print exchange (#13?) been filled yet??

One more item while I'm writing - I know there was a discussion re barens a
while back but I can't remember if people liked the Teflon one - it seems
as if the
construction with handle and the weight would enable one to exert more
pressure?
 
Regards to all - I'm certainly enjoying and benefitting from the enthusiasm of
all you 'bareners'!

Louise

I think red shoes would be the fashion of the week!  Mike could also teach
us some karate lessons.
Yes, Praga was one of my inquiries re; printing presses. I now have about 5
catalogs of presses to go through. My ex press was an Ettan and I liked it
very much, but now that I am without, I am looking into all of them for the
future.

I use rice paste for my chine colle and it works out very well.

Who is going to be our Hanga expert at the Baren Bash??
I will be interested as I am an oily person but willing to learn. Tried it
once and made a mess. Nothing like watching an expert.

Jeanne N.

PS. Still amazed at the professional looking prints in the last exchange.
Wonderful!!!

If you want to learn from the best.... Frank is your guy.
I have taken a couple of workshops and I was most impressed with his 
method of teaching and knowledge.  Actually the last was not a 
workshop so much as a collaboration in my studio for 12 days....  It 
was a window in my life that will be with me forever.... He taught me 
drypoint and I taught him all I know about malt scotch....
