[Libri] Engraving workshop with Barry Moser

[Liz Chalfin]

Barry Moser will conduct his second workshop on wood and relief  
engraving at Zea Mays Printmaking, Florence, MA on May 3/4, 2008. A  
medium that ranks with mezzotint and fresco in its degree of  
difficulty, will be presented in as clear and simple terms as  
possible. We will discuss, explore, and learn the rudiments of how to  
draw for the engraving process, how to prepare a block, how to  
transfer images, how to hold and sharpen the tools, how to engrave an  
image, and finally how to pull a proof by hand. Wood is very scarce  
(and terribly expensive) so we will be using an inexpensive  
substitute called Resingrave, a material that Moser has used  
exclusively since 1995.  Space is limited.  Visit our website for
