I participate in the various print exchanges organised on this forum, but note that only a few others from these fair isles do so as well, which I think is a pity. I find I get a lot of enjoyment out of the process, but I can appreciate that there are many reasons for not taking part, such as stress, cost, or time. There will be those that may consider their work unsuitable, because of content or standard, which is a shame, because by seeing the work at others at first hand we all benefit by cross-exchange of ideas, and inspiration.
I’m thinking of a periodic blind print exchange, such as that organised so ably by Art, where we each send one print to another member, as selected by the organiser.
I wonder if a variation on this theme by way of a simple UK only monthly exchange is of sufficient interest to make it worthwhile organising; something I’m prepared to do if there is.
I’m thinking that paper size should be fixed at 10x8, so that both material and postage costs are minimised, in order to invite maximum involvement.
Think it over, and reply here if it is of interest. We will see how many want to be involved in, say a month, and take it from there. Any ideas or input will be welcome.
