2026 Open Print Exchange
The Open Print Exchange this year is still in progress, but all submissions should have arrived in Germany already. I don't really have any process photos this time, as I was focused on meeting the deadline. There were issues receiving my press (the shipping company didn't notify me and the tariff was much higher than I expected). I had planned to do a relief carving but it was proving too difficult on my new press (postcard size). I decided to do an etching instead, as I suspected it would print easier for me. I hadn't done etching in several years, so it took a few tries to remember everything I needed to do (ie wet the paper). I also switched to a thinner paper. It was much easier than I expected! I will definitely need to do more.
I am really looking forward to receiving my prints from the exchange, as well as the catalog from the event.
