In July,\n1979 Robert \u201cBob\u201d McClain issued what we believe was his first list of Moku Hanga (woodblock print) Tools and\nSupplies. <\/em>His hand-drawn illustrations and typed descriptions are carefully\npasted onto a single sheet of paper. Almost all of the supplies he sold then we\nare still selling today, plus hundreds more to support a wide range of relief\nprintmaking techniques. I think Bob would be surprised and pleased to see how\npopular Moku Hanga is around the world, and how far McClain\u2019s Printmaking\nSupplies has come in the past forty years. This business grew out of his desire\nto teach and promote Moku Hanga in the United States and we do our best to\nfollow Bob\u2019s example by helping you – our fellow relief printmakers – find the\nsupplies and advice you need to succeed. In return, your support has made us\nthe company we are today. Here\u2019s to our next 40 years creating prints together!\nCHEERS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maryhill Museum of Art of Goldendale, Washington is hosting a\ncollaborative printmaking project that we are very excited about. \u201cExquisite\nGorge\u201d (inspired by the Surrealist drawing game exquisite corpse<\/em>) will\nfeature a massive 66-foot long woodblock print of various aspects of the\nbeautiful Columbia River Gorge that establishes the state boundaries of Oregon\nand Washington. The project involves 11 artists who are currently working with\ncommunities along the river to create 4×6 ft blocks that will be steamroller\nprinted on Saturday, August 24th<\/sup>, 2019 at the Maryhill Museum of Art.\nAll the prints will be displayed together to create the 66-foot print. This steamroller\nevent is open to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThe Columbia River\nweaves lives together in the most amazing ways,\u201d says Louise Palermo, Curator\nof Education at Maryhill Museum of Art. \u201cThe Exquisite Gorge Project<\/em> brings\ncommunities together with artists to share their experience of home in the form\nof a woodblock print, metaphorically as big as the river itself\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Columbia is deeply rooted in the history of the Pacific\nNorthWest and we hope that someday you have the opportunity to visit the\nColumbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
