June 2008 No, I still haven't printed my Chinese New Year card, but other projects are moving along. If you haven't heard the most recent Print Gocco news — on May 30, Riso announced that they will no longer produce any more Print Goccos, but they will continue to supply screens and inks for another few years. I've designed a new Gocco class, Advanced Gocco & Beyond, to help Gocco lovers move beyond the traditional form of Gocco printing. In addition, I have an exhibit at 23 Sandy for the month of June. Details are below. Hope to see you at one of these events.

Classes
Class is held at my studio in SW Portland, Oregon; limited to 5 students. The Print Gocco is a simple to use printing device that is a cross between a silkscreen and a stamp. Although it's been around for about 30 years, it has become hugely popular here in the US in the past few years. As the class title suggests, this is a quick lesson on how to use the Print Gocco. You will learn how to expose a Gocco screen and pull a few prints. Tuition: $15 Recommended for adults and children 8 years and older. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Instructor supplies all materials and Goccos. See the Classes page for more information and to register.

Opening reception June 6, 6-9pm I am showing a collection of my artist's books, including two pillow books, part of a series of four, about memory loss. Pillow BooksWhat are these Pillow Books, you ask? I have been thinking a lot about memory loss. I have a family member who's suffering from memory loss and I'm working with four elderly seniors at an assisted living facility. This is a series of 4 artist's books in the format of pillows, a reference to the strong association between memory and sleep. You can see more images on the Prints and Artist's Books page. | |
