Welcome, Bette and everyone else who is new, and the lurkers who are out
there, but being very quiet. I was behind the door when quiet was passed
out. 

A few words to those who get up-tight when the boys get snippy - remember,
we can't see the body English or hear the intonation, so you are free to
interpret in many ways! Pretend it is all in good fun and it sets better :>)

Printing away,
Pollyanna Sharri

Subject: [Baren 17491] Book to consider 

If you're interested in black and white prints, last year The Art
Institute of Chicago published a stunning book:  Hiratsuka: Modern
Master.  It's filled with his amazing woodcuts, many in b/w and a few in
color.  A good introduction also.  It's about $25.  ISBN
0-86559-193-8.   His daughter Keiko Iratsuka Moore published a small
manual in 1973 called "Moku Hanga:  How to make Japanese wood block
prints."

Subject: [Baren 17493] Re: Cathy Caraccio 

Welcome to all the new members.  I'm an old member who doesn't contribute
much to the conversations anymore, but am definitely still alive and
printing.

In reply to the question about  Kathy Caraccio, about eight years ago I
attended a one day class on moku-hanga that Kathy taught at the
Printmaking Council of NJ.   At that time, Kathy was printing areas of
color which she would then cut into pieces and make into beautiful
abstract collages.  If I remember correctly,  she stressed the benefits of
layering the transparent pigment. She wasn't a purist as far as moku hanga
goes, but was very positively using some of the techniques as another tool
in her means of expression.  She has a printmaking studio in Manhattan ...
I imagine April and Sarah know her well (?) and can probably tell a lot
more.  Anyway, a quick google search brought up the following web site:

Best wishes,
Lynita
