On Sunday, January 21, I really enjoyed the print talk by the women of the ROUX exhibition -- Ann “Sole Sister” Johnson, Rabéa Ballin, Delita Martin (Lovie Olivia was unable to attend), at the Prizer Arts and Letters studio in East Austin:

JANUARY 23rd

Dr Paul Laidler, of the University of West England, gave a lecture in the Art Building at the University of Texas. He spoke about practice, result oriented print making research (vs question oriented). He is a Senior Research Fellow of the Centre for Fine Print Research.

His website is Just Press P, and on January 26th, there is an opening at the University of Texas, of the print show he curated with the same name -- Just Press Print.
