Number six in Hand Papermaking's series
of distinctive
portfolios of handmade papers... Innovative Printmaking
on Handmade
Paper
This juried collection features
twenty distinctive prints with handmade paper. Numerous
printmaking methods are represented, some traditional, some
contemporary, some unquestionably innovative (e.g., printing
from part of a saxophone!). Techniques include etching,
woodblock, chine collé, linocut, digital inkjet,
silkscreen, monotype, lithography, pochoir, aquatint, and
letterpress. The handmade paper is inherent in the artwork.
The paper techniques include watermarking, pulp painting,
double couching, and overbeating; with fibers such as
cotton, linen, abaca, hemp, kozo, flax, and sea grass.
A custom-made clamshell box houses
the prints, each in a protective folder imprinted with the
artist’s name. A handbound booklet contains statements
from each artist and a commissioned essay by Eric Denker,
Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art and Senior Lecturer at the National Gallery of Art.
