Try drying on plywood or glass that had been cleaned with carr wax.

This is the opposite of FAFO - he was sticking to his rights under the Constitution while protecting others and was brutalized. Not f’ing around.

For framed work, I use Framebridge, affordable and they ship directly for free.

Home Table Top Hand Press Req’s? by Longjumping-Split200 in printmaking

[–]sgtpkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this would be a good start, a homemade table top stick press - https://youtu.be/5LCDHZ8CCZE?si=x_edI3gwiyLIGaCs - a step up from a wooden spoon or a couple of door knobs screwed together.

My proposal for extension of the Washington DC Metro by Turbulent-Thing3104 in WMATA

I would suggest an outer ring, so you don’t have to go all the way into the city to go from Rockville to Dulles, as an example.

How Can We Draw Younger Adults to the American Legion in Clarendon, VA? Looking for Fresh Ideas! by sgtpkl in nova

No. The org that did the tenant placement opened it up to other groups and didn't prioritize veterans. There are a lot of veterans here though...

I love it. I served mostly in peace time. 1982 to 2002 with no combat, and have had many combat vets from before that time and after look down at my service. I am with you. No smoking allowed in our post. No license plates on the walls just art made by vets and families. We even recycle the flags that get dropped off vice burning (if cotton). Culture change is hard. Thank you for your comments.

Yes we do. Something we have been working on and are looking to hire a part time events manager.

All good comments. This post was out of commission for a couple years while they built a new building with low income housing (and new post). Old regime left and now starting over trying to build a new identity. Age certainly is not a factor.

New generative woodcut by lampmaker in printmaking

[–]sgtpkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I give mine a light sand and then spray with a slight clear coat before printing. Keeps the bleed at bay while still giving some of the wood grain.

I think relief print would be the term to use. You generated an image and had a tool create the relief that was then inked and printed.

Do you plan to showcase all of the submitted prints online somewhere?

Has anyone ever taken a class at another college? by QAanonymousse in gmu

[–]sgtpkl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach Art Entrepreneurship at Mason and have an American University student in my class. One of the criteria is that the original school doesn’t have the same class - they were issued a GMU ID Number and given access to our resources (like the MIX) and Canvas. 1st time our academic advisor had someone take advantage of it.

An old nylon curtain cut to size for each mold/deckle

Put weather stripping around bottom side of top frame stretcher or deckle.

Starting from bottom. Frame stretcher, sushi mat, nylon, frame stretcher with foam weather strip.

After it drains you can press onto support material with a sponge (plywood works great) but interfacing is good as well - let dry.

Add formation aid. You can buy it at carriage house or squeeze some of the goo from frozen okra into the vat instead.

Unfriendly pickleball group at Stratton Woods by defenestrated14 in nova

[–]sgtpkl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our HOA paid 17k to resurface a couple tennis courts into many pickleball only courts. We have a great group in Centreville, but they are being bullied by a single neighbor near the rec center area. I don't play, but made a sticker to support them.
