Good turnout in Houston

We attended this event  twice before -- in 2015 and 2106:

We also invited a lot of these printmakers to participate in the "Ambos Lados International Print Exchange," which is open to all.  Delivery deadline November 2nd, 2018. (sign up deadline September 1st).

Also there was buzz about creating Texas Printmaking Biennial, for regional printmakers.

Stopped by Flatbed Press in Austin on Tuesday (April 24th), to once again admire this huge soft ground print by the late Robert Levers:
