Get-A-Letter Kits are Awesome

I know that I'm the one who makes them, but still, I think the get-a-letter kits are great. I spend so much time making them, it's like I'm actually putting together a cool package to send to a friend. So I think the people who buy them are getting something really special. Something almost exactly like an exciting letter from a friend!

P.S. I always write a personal note to everyone who buys something. So technically, you ARE getting a letter. And I'm pretty friendly, in my own antisocial way.

Gocco Workshops from Half Empty Press

Hello Portland Friends:

Did you know I'm quitting my full-time job on June 14th to spend the summer having fun and spending more time on art? As part of this, I'll be offering more than my usual quota of Print Gocco classes. Print Gocco is a magical, amazing, simple printmaking method using a Japanese-designed machine that creates mini silkscreens AND acts as a tiny printing press. It's tons of fun and many of my cards are made with this method.

I'm doing Gocco workshop at Muse Art & Design on Hawthorne on Sunday, June 15th, if anyone's interested or has a friend who wants to go...it's $35, 2 hours, limited to six participants, and everyone gets to make their own Gocco screen. It's going to be cool, especially because it's three blocks from my house. And another 2-hour Basic Gocco workshop at the IPRC later on this summer...it looks like it will be Wednesday, June 25th, in the evening--$20 IPRC members, $30 non-members. Both of them also have an $8 materials fee.

Be there?
