2018 Catalog Cover Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flow<\/em> by Kristen Etmund is a small print that had a big impact on everyone here at McClain\u2019s. Etmund is a Northwest artist residing in the scenic Olympia, WA. Her art is represented at Childhood\u2019s End Gallery (link to Kristen\u2019s specific page on gallery website) as well as on her personal Etsy site 13chestnuts.com.<\/p>\n

Kirsten told us she was \u201cInitially attracted to woodblock printing because of the connection to my Japanese heritage, I\u2019ve continued with the relief medium because it is a rare combination of craft and art. Though time-consuming, I find the methodical processes of carving and printing, which have remained much the same for centuries, rewarding and enjoyable. Even though the creation of a woodblock print requires much planning and thought, the finished piece always has an element of surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

SGCI Vegas – Altered Landscapes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring is here and so is the Southern Graphics Conference International (SGCI). This time Daniel, Andrew and Kaitlyn will be at the McClain\u2019s booth in the glittery, desert city of Las Vegas. SGCI is a unique gathering that brings together printmakers for demonstrations, portfolio exhibitions, and lectures on all things printmaking. It is held in a different location every year. Altered Landscapes (link) is the 2018 theme that \u201cwill capture the spirit of Las Vegas\u2019s perpetual reinvention and the fallacy of its promises.\u201d – (from the SGCI Altered Landscapes official website)<\/em><\/p>\n

Visit McClain\u2019s booth for moku hanga and tool sharpening demonstrations. We will have tools there to test out as well as McClain\u2019s gift certificates for $25, $50, and $100 hidden inside four show specials! Be sure to come by and try your luck. See you in Vegas!<\/p>\n

Each button will be attached to a card with a printmaking tip or historical bit of information related to moku hanga. Show off your beautiful McClain\u2019s button on your apron, jacket, dog\u2019s collar, backpack\u2026you name it! We hope you enjoy them.<\/p>\n
