It has been 10 years since I last was a tutor at the workshops in Wanaka so it is wonderful for me to come back again to visit. I am hoping to see many familiar faces. Over the past few days I have added some new information to the Blog which you might find helpful in relation to the upcoming workshop. The page is divided into different sections with a new one on en plein air printmakers. I will keep adding to this one as I come across more information.

I have just added some info Jacki sent me for purchasing Ferric Chloride in New Zealand. I included it in the Printmaking Supplies section.
