A Pressing Engagement!!!(Un Engagement qui Appuie)


Exciting News, the arrival of my intaglio etching press from Holland...it took 9 months and I  still have not given it a name yet.
Max ( one of the studio dogs) watches over it, and finds the movement of the press bed most interesting.
While studying at Atelier Montmiral in France I fell in love with the etching process. As most of you know, I have been a printmaker for years, and  have wanted a press to complete my work in a more professional way. This press built by Polymetaal in Holland is the best in it's class.
My new work can be seen on my update website martischmidt.com
I continue to push the envelope of my creative spirit and experiment with new techniques.
This press will allow me to take my art to new heights!!
Keep in touch and give me some feed back.
As always I appreciate your interest and support.
Love to all
Marti
