Viscosity Printing 1977 with Bill Ritchie

[@phyllisjeanfulton]

I’m so appreciative that you’re doing this for us. A valuable lesson and rare to find. 🙏🏽

[@BillRitchie]

Thank you, and I appreciate your note. Each time I find a response, I fear someone will point out errors and ommissions an suggest taking it down. Now, to me, it is a nostalgia piece, and funny, too!

This was a great, in depth, demo! Thanks for taking the time to get it transferred from VHS and posted to KZbin!

Legendary demo goes down in the history archives of printmaking education..!!!!!!!

[@BillRitchie]

Ya' know, it's a funny feeling to think of an archive of printmaking education! Thanks for engendering a smile. - B

@@BillRitchie glad you smiled ! you know Krishna Reddy was my mentor and friend, he was showing me how he innovated this technique of viscosity back atelier 17..he was the sweetest human humble n kind....did u meet him ?

[@BillRitchie]

@@petrastellar No, I did not meet Krishna, but another in my first visit, 1969. In 1983, he had moved to America. Hayter mentions this in the long video. When I made this viscosity video, I had only a little knowledge of the medium. My teacher was perhaps Reddy's student, Anne Breivik, in Norway, when she was starting her Atelier Nord. It's all in my autobiography, "Escape Emeralda" free online as a searchable flipbook at www.emeralda.com. You may already know "My visit with Hayter" I uploaded on the 40th anniversary of it. click here or paste in your Search window: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j56VlWSHftx-Y7M

Thank You for sharing this!!!!!!!!

[@BillRitchie]

Thank you, Mary, your response is rewarding. The other day a guy stopped in our gallery and said he watched this video, and recalled several funny things about it - the chain saws in the background, outside the windows. Imagine if I had known - in 1977 - I would be getting notice from you in 2022. I've lived into the future! BTW, did you know you can read about 1977 in my autobiography in a few flips of a flipbook page? www.emeraldaworks.com. I am getting close to an animated, random access bioflipbook! Have a good time, Mary Mathews. - BR
