Alan Heald, Chair

Since the club now holds just three of these events a year, it behooves our print makers to mark this date down on their calendars. Of course, it also means that it is time to begin warming up those printers so you can make some prints to show to the group. This is the first Print Night of 2012.   

Remember….as in the past, try to stick to the “three print rule”. 

Also, be sure and bring your questions and discoveries about printing to the meeting.  This time we won’t be passing the prints around during the meeting. Instead we’ll set them all out on a table for discussion afterwards.

Meetings are only as good as the discussion they generate! Once again the date is March 15.
