The Codex Book Fair

The CODEX book fair is coming to the Craneway Pavillion in Richmond Feb 3-6. There are usually lovely books with watercolors, including Andie Thrams, a California-based artist using  watercolors in wildland forests to create paintings and artist’s books that explore mystery, reverence, and delight. 
Thank you Laurie W.


Printing on Watercolor Paper

There has been some an interest about printing out an element of a composition on watercolor paper so that the work can be repeated without having to redraw the concept each time. It's possible to do this yourself with specific equipment, but not the kind of printer usually found at home.
Heather has found a shop that will print on 140 lb watercolor paper. They do not have it on stock, so bring your own.
Call to them before you visit, if you want them to do it while you wait.

Thank you, Heather
