Subject: [Baren 19813] Crudeness 

Barbara, and pigment dispersion users:

What we are doing in moku hanga is printing with watercolor and gouache. So
if you want more information you could check some watercolor recipes. They
tend to be very specific about proportions, my recipe is very crude. I think
it works because the paper accepts the pigment and holds it itself. Don't
forget there is a small amount of glue on the surface of good washi, too.

When you think of the origin of hanga, printing with sumi ink, that color
has animal hide glue as a binder. I expect is what the other colors used by
the ukiyo-e artists had as binder.

best,

April

Sharen,

on their site or in their info....if you do it will save all of us writing
to them as there does not seem to be an email address.
Thanks,
Barbara

Barbara, here is the information:

"Eligiblity and Media-
All artists over 18 living in the USA are eligible.  In it's
largest dimension, individual artwork must be no greater than
22".  All media excluding jewelry, film and video are eligible. 
Weight limitation of 45 lbs.  No work which requires special
installation or instructions will be accepted."

<http://www.harpercollege.edu/giving/exhibition.shtml> The form may be printed out, 
although the lettering is a non-distinctive blue.  Click on the words "Print the Detailed
Brochure/Entry Form." and you should be able to print out the
information that you need.

Until about six years ago this was the Harper National PRINT
Show, and it was an exquisite show, with amazing entries.  Many
on the repeat mailing list are printmakers who entered those
print shows of the great once-upon-a-time. Thus printmaking
continues to be well represented. 

It would be exciting to have work from Baren filling the walls!

Sharen
