Welcome Chris! Is Joe Fedderson still teaching at Evergreen? You are
well located to attend the Summit in Aug. 06 - you just have to dash
down the road and you're here! Hope you will plan on it. It looks
like quite a few Evergreen folks popped their little heads up for all
to see. Way to go, guys!!

Cheers!
Sharri

Thanks for the info Mike. You are correct, their binders don't work all
that well.
Do you have a recommended rice paste? Is there much difference between
brands? Is there anything else I should/could add to make the pigment/paste
mixture thinner or thicker?

I design, create and maintain websites as a full time job. Block printing
is a hobby to relieve the stresses of work. I don't see the 2 crossing paths
but you never know what the future will bring :-)

I was going thru some my old web pages and remembered that there are at
least a couple of bareners (Lynita, David Stones, etc) who studied with
and/or at the Kyoto studio of Tomikichiro Tokuriki. Back in 1998 I put up
on my website an article/interview with the artist that was done by print
collector/aficionado Oliver Statler. The artist lived to the very old age
of 97.


The article may survive my website redesign in some form but in case any
of the artist's fans are interested it can still be found at this link:
