Tower of Printing

The latest printing class;s tower -- usually foam insulation boards with plastic cups between -- held wet prints. You've got to love the setting at Gateway Canyon where Alegre retreat was held. We'll do this again for the Schweinfurth's workshop, and use an old fashioned clothesline in Pacific Northwest Art School.

 

Get Ready Set Go

Alegre has started today for my printing class. We've built a tower of 4 x 4 Styrofoam boards with plastic cup spacers. Works great. And since it's midafternoon, there is a table set with cucumber sandwiches and petit fours. Also a tray of great cookies. You have to be happy here, if for nothing else than the food.
 

Beer (Cup) Party

Before I leave the stack of photos from Art Quilt Tahoe, I should show you all this. It is a view of the "tower" that we used to lay our wet prints flat. Yes, that's a double beer cup for spacers between the foam insulation boards. It's a great system in a pinch. But we still were waiting for the beer.
