I recently returned from the 2014 SGCI conference in San Francisco. As always it was great to connect and reconnect with printmakers from around the world. Some highlights included Kathan Brown’s<\/a> talk, the Open Portfolio sessions, and the opportunity to be introduced to Jiri Anderle’s<\/a> sublime work in the flesh. Some products to try including water-based etching ink by Charbonnel and a non-toxic ground called B.I.G<\/a> (it can apparently stand-in for hard, soft and aquatint grounds – available at Takach soon). All my fellow silkscreen friends were nerding-out about a new screen re-streching system from Squeegeeville<\/a> (who also have some great silkscreen books available).<\/p>\n

Hi to anyone I met at SGCI – you can also follow me on Twitter @heatherhuston or on Instagram @printerbird.<\/p>\n

Now I am busy preparing for my exhibition at SNAP<\/a> on April 24th, end of semester and prepping Alberta Printmakers’<\/a> after a recent move. Some photos from the trip below!<\/p>\n
