I purpose the formation of an International Mezzotint Society of devotees, extending the audience to all print-lovers and spreading knowledge of the technique and its history; No art babble to be permitted. In addition the Society would publish a newsletter which would - 1. Share information about sources of supplies, e.g., inks, papers, etc. 2. Exchange technical information. 3. Provide news of forth coming exhibitions. 4. Travelling exhibits and international exchanges. 5. Professional meetings in various locations. and 6. Galleries particularly interested and intrigued by mezzotints. The Society would be essentially, informational and informal - at least, initially. If we use email there are no dues. If we later incur expenses it may be necessary to have a membership fee. I would like to share my enthusiasm for this medium with many other artists who may presently feel somewhat isolated. That is the primary objective. A.David Crown, email reply to: [log in to unmask]
