Hello Sheila
Is there a deadline for submission of the print editions to this exchange project AND will artist who combine ink jet with traditional printmaking techniques be eligible to participate? Please can you respond to the deadline question in particular ASAP ??
Hello Sheila still hoping to get a response on the question of deadline? I was thinking of posting your notice re Yr of the Ox on my printworkshops website but just need to know this in case the deadline is too soon or is already gone.
thank you Aine
