Thanks! I'm excited to be a part of a printing group. They're hard to come by!

hikimedia In reply to MackenzieBedford [2011-07-12 20:58:52 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad to have you with us!

Yes, not many people are as interested in printmaking as us... at least, nowadays.
Oh and don't mind the "few" submissions, we're a pretty fresh group, so we hopefully will grow bigger in the next months and years

also I will submit and upload more of my relief and intaglio prints in the next days... xD
(I only have uploaded self-made stencil prints yet)

so, I hope you will have a lot of fun with us. also feel free to talk to me or the admins whenever you want to tell or ask us something!

MackenzieBedford In reply to hikimedia [2011-07-12 21:35:21 +0000 UTC]

Haha I know! I won't be able to upload very many prints as I'm without a printshop at the moment. But I'll definitely put up some old ones from when I was in school! I'm hoping this group and the other printing group I joined will help me get my butt in gear and get to a print shop!

hikimedia In reply to MackenzieBedford [2011-07-12 21:52:14 +0000 UTC]

well, do it the same way as I did.

I asked a nice lady working at a museum here, she gave me the phone number of a screen print studio, where I got the phone number of an artist, who gave me the phone number of one of his friends, who is a master printmaker, printing in his own relief and intaglio studio here...

there I am now, after asking three people I finally found a very nice tutor and printmaker

search everywhere in your area for printmakers or printmaking studios, then please send me the adresses and I will add them to my list, which should be updated on the group's frontpage^^

anyway, whenever I can be helpful, I sure will help. also your school prints are welcome as long as they are printed seriously (no test prints), their categorization is correct or written the correct category in the picture description and they do get along with our group rules

(sounds more difficult than it is xD)

MackenzieBedford In reply to hikimedia [2011-07-12 22:09:23 +0000 UTC]

Haha oh I know. All of my school prints were marked for professionalism. They're curated and all that jazz. I don't really see the point in putting up proofs!
There's a printmaking society I tried to get a residency with but I didn't get accepted. I've been put on their volunteer list and haven't really heard from them ): But maybe one day I'll just rent the studio and have a printing spree! Haha.

hikimedia In reply to MackenzieBedford [2011-07-12 22:13:32 +0000 UTC]

maybe we will rent a studio together one day haha^^

I really would love to have my own space where I can work whenever I like to and where I have enough space for all papers, plates, tools and stuff... xD

but I guess it could get boring sometimes to work there totally alone xD

MackenzieBedford In reply to hikimedia [2011-07-13 04:25:30 +0000 UTC]

Haha I think I'd like to share a studio with just one or two other people. That'd be plenty!
